The population density was {{convert|1266.3|PD/sqmi|PD/km2|sp=us|adj=off}}.  There were 405 housing units at an average density of {{convert|200.5|/sqmi|/km2|sp=us|adj=off}}.  The racial makeup of the CDP was 66.8% [[White (U.S. Census)|White]], 24.6% [[African American (U.S. Census)|African American]], 0.4% [[American Indian and Alaska Native|Native American]], 0.7% [[Asian (U.S. Census)|Asian]], 6.0% from [[Race (United States Census)|other races]], and 1.4% from two or more races. [[Hispanic (U.S. Census)|Hispanic]] or [[Latino (U.S. Census)|Latino]] of any race were 10.2% of the population.

There were 405 households, out of which 35.6% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 54.3% were [[Marriage|married couples]] living together, 14.4% had a female householder with no husband present, and 24.7% were non-families. 20.1% of all households were made up of individuals, and 6.3% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

In the CDP, the population was spread out, with 13.1% under the age of 20, 8.83% from 20 to 24, 49.2% from 25 to 44, 24.5% from 45 to 64, and 4.3% who were 65 years of age or older.

Females made up 80.6% of the population, and 86.9% of the population from ages 20 to 64 were female.
