Wellons Village, a neighborhood in Durham, North Carolina, has undergone a significant demographic shift over the past decade. As of 2022, it is classified as a Majority-Minority community with a Hispanic Plurality. The neighborhood has a population of 5,179 and a median income of $23,183. Wellons Village has transformed from a predominantly Black community to one with a significant Hispanic presence.

In 2013, Wellons Village was categorized as a Racial Majority community with a Black majority (51%). Over the next decade, the neighborhood transitioned to a Hispanic Plurality. By 2017, the Hispanic population surpassed 50%, briefly creating a Hispanic Majority. By 2022, the community settled into a Majority-Minority status with a Hispanic Plurality (50% Hispanic, 30% Black). This transition was driven by a steady increase in the Hispanic population and a decline in the Black population. The White population remained relatively stable at around 8-11% throughout this period. There has been a slight increase in diversity, with small growth in the Asian and Two or More Races categories.

The demographic shifts in Wellons Village correlate with fluctuations in median income. In 2013, when the Black population was majority, the median income was $21,223. As the Hispanic population grew, there was a slight decline in median income, reaching a low of $19,719 in 2018. From 2020 to 2022, there was a significant increase in median income, peaking at $27,985 in 2021 before slightly decreasing to $23,183 in 2022. This economic trend suggests that the initial influx of Hispanic residents may have been associated with lower-income households. The subsequent rise in median income could indicate economic integration and improvement for this group, or it might reflect broader economic changes in the area affecting all residents.
