The economic volatility experienced by Dayton View Triangle is more extreme than typically seen in stable urban neighborhoods. The persistence of a strong Black majority despite economic changes could indicate a historically significant Black community with deep roots in the area.

Dayton View Triangle presents a picture of a predominantly Black community that has maintained its demographic character despite significant economic challenges. The neighborhood's resilience in population retention amid income volatility suggests strong community ties and potentially limited options for outward migration. The subtle increases in diversity, particularly in the multiracial category, hint at slow but ongoing demographic evolution that may continue in the coming years.
