North Haven's demographic composition differs from national trends, which show increasing diversity across the United States. The neighborhood has maintained a white majority despite some fluctuations. The median income in North Haven is below the national average, which could indicate that it's a working-class or middle-class enclave within Winston-Salem. The small population size of North Haven makes it particularly susceptible to significant percentage changes in demographics with even small shifts in actual numbers of residents.
North Haven presents a case of a small, predominantly white neighborhood that has experienced demographic and economic fluctuations over the past decade. While it has maintained its "White Majority" status, the community shows signs of being in transition, with potential for increased diversity in the future. The correlation between demographic shifts and economic changes suggests a complex interplay between race and economics in this small community.
