Reynolda, a neighborhood in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, exhibits a Low Diversity demographic profile with a White Majority of 90% as of 2022. The area has a high median income of $141,445, indicating an affluent community. Reynolda is home to the Reynolda House Museum of American Art.
Over the past decade, Reynolda has maintained its status as a Low Diversity neighborhood with a White Majority. From 2013 to 2019, there was a gradual increase in the Black population, peaking at 21% in 2019. Post-2019, there was a sharp decline in the Black population. Since 2020, a small but consistent presence of "Other" races has emerged.
The median income in Reynolda has shown fluctuations over the years. It increased from $117,262 in 2013 to a peak of $162,654 in 2018. A sharp decline to $141,930 occurred in 2019, coinciding with the peak in Black population. From 2019 to 2022, the median income has remained relatively stable around $140,000.
The economic trends correlate with the demographic shifts. The period of increasing income (2013-2018) saw a gradual increase in the Black population. The sharp income decline in 2019 coincided with the highest Black population percentage. The stabilization of income post-2019 aligns with the return to a more homogeneous racial composition.
Population trends show a decline from 343 in 2013 to 167 in 2022, which could indicate changing neighborhood dynamics. Reynolda's median income is likely well above both state and national averages. The low diversity and strong White Majority contrast with national trends towards increasing diversity in urban areas. The sharp population decline may reflect broader urban trends of suburbanization or changes in housing preferences among high-income residents.
Reynolda presents a picture of a wealthy, predominantly White neighborhood that has experienced some demographic fluctuations over the past decade, particularly around 2019. It has largely maintained its character as a Low Diversity, high-income area. The interplay between racial composition and economic indicators suggests a complex relationship between wealth and diversity in this neighborhood.
