By 2000, the neighborhood's population had become nearly 60% African American. Today it is approximately 81% African American Despite the demographic change, there are still several kosher establishments in Overbrook Park: a kosher bagel store, a kosher pizzeria, and a kosher bakery. As of late 2015 a new kosher sushi restaurant opened on Haverford Ave, but has since closed. There is now a kosher catering business in its place. There was also R&R Produce and Fish in the same shopping center as New York Bagels but it closed in the Spring of 2021 when the owners retired after being there for decades. In 2017, Chabad of Penn Wynne and Congregation Beth Hamedrosh, formerly of Overbrook Park, were awarded a grant by The Kohelet Foundation to assist with promoting Overbrook Park as an affordable neighborhood for young Jewish families. Starting with Rosh Hashana in September 2020, Chabad of Penn Wynne is now located in Overbrook Park in the same shopping center that is home to New York Bagels. It was previously located at the Kaiserman JCC across City Line Avenue but had to relocate due to the coronavirus pandemic. After 13 years with no synagogue, Overbrook Park again has a synagogue. Overbrook Park is the birthplace of actor Seth Green.
