The Near East Side experienced a notable transition in its racial composition from 2013 to 2022. In 2013, the neighborhood was categorized as having a "Black Majority" with 52% of the population. By 2022, it had evolved into a "Moderate Diversity" community with no single racial group holding a majority. This shift is attributed to a decline in the Black population from 52% to 34%, an increase in the Hispanic population from 25% to 38%, and a slight increase in the White population from 19% to 25%. This transformation suggests a trend towards increased diversity, potentially indicating gentrification or changing housing preferences in the area.

The neighborhood experienced a substantial increase in median income, rising from $10,075 in 2013 to $27,812 in 2022, a 176% increase. This economic uplift correlates with the demographic shifts, suggesting an influx of higher-income residents, improved economic conditions for existing residents, and potential displacement of lower-income residents. The overall population decreased from 989 in 2013 to 640 in 2022. The sharp increase in median income, particularly between 2019 ($16,203) and 2020 ($27,800), coincides with a significant shift in racial composition, indicating a possible tipping point in the neighborhood's gentrification process.
