This decade marked a change in relations between the white and African American populations. The implementation of Jim Crow laws changed how and who businesses considered customers and influenced civic and social perceptions and assumptions. An economic slump in 1914 elevated tension as laborers of both races fought for fewer of the same jobs. The African American families who had ties to Pensacola for over one hundred years and were educated experienced a different life than those that just arrived to the area from other southern States. These new arrivals had little education or opportunity. Stunted social movement drove some residents to churches and others to the streets.
The neighborhood experienced some changes compared to the first ten years of the 1900s. The general race changed and people came from a wider spread of states and different countries. Working class jobs persisted but the variety of jobs became greater. The majority of addresses were homes but despite some reduction in businesses, others survived to see another decade.
