This shift, along with growth in Hispanic (from 3% to 11%) and Asian (from 1% to 2%) populations, indicates a trend towards increased diversity.

The economic landscape of Pinhook Area has been volatile over the past decade. The median income peaked at $71,459 in 2013 but has since experienced significant fluctuations. Notable decreases occurred in 2015 ($47,980) and 2021 ($41,805), with partial recoveries in between. The 2022 figure of $54,086 represents a moderate rebound but is still considerably lower than the 2013 peak. These economic shifts appear to correlate with the demographic changes. As the community became more diverse, particularly with the increase in Black and Hispanic populations, there was a general downward trend in median income. This suggests that the neighborhood may be attracting more diverse, potentially younger families or individuals who might be at earlier stages in their careers.
