The neighborhood's population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between about 15,300 and 16,300 residents over the decade. This stability suggests that demographic shifts are likely due to changes within the existing community rather than large-scale migration.

Wynnefield's demographic profile, with a strong Black majority, is consistent with many urban neighborhoods in large U.S. cities that have historically been centers of African American communities. The fluctuation in median income over the decade may reflect broader economic trends. The slow increase in diversity, particularly in the "Two or More Races" category, aligns with national trends of increasing multiracial populations in urban areas.

The presence of Saint Joseph's University nearby likely contributes to a more stable local economy and may be a factor in the gradual increase in diversity, as universities often attract a more diverse population. While Wynnefield remains a predominantly Black neighborhood, it shows signs of gradual diversification and economic recovery. These trends, coupled with its stable population, suggest a community that is evolving slowly but steadily, balancing its historical demographic character with emerging diversity and economic opportunities.
