Jefferson Gardens, a neighborhood in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, exhibits moderate diversity with a slight white plurality as of 2022. The racial composition shows 42% white, 33% black, and 13% Hispanic residents, with 11% identifying as two or more races. The median income of $53,998 in 2022 indicates a middle-class suburban area.

Over the past decade, Jefferson Gardens has transformed from a Black Plurality community to one of Moderate Diversity. In 2013, the neighborhood had a Black Majority (45%) with a substantial White minority (41%). By 2022, no single racial group held a majority, with the White population slightly becoming a plurality (42%). Notable shifts include a decline in the Black population from 45% to 33%, a relatively stable White population, a significant increase and subsequent decrease in Hispanic residents, and the emergence of a substantial multiracial population.

The demographic shifts correlate with economic changes. Median income has shown an overall upward trend, rising from $42,004 in 2013 to $53,998 in 2022, a 28.6% increase. This income growth coincides with the increase in diversity, suggesting the neighborhood may be attracting a more diverse, middle-class population. A notable dip in median income to $34,071 in 2015 corresponded with a peak in the Black population and a low point for the White population, potentially indicating a period of economic challenge that may have triggered subsequent demographic changes.
