Over the past decade, zip code 18091 has experienced notable demographic shifts. The population has grown from 6,161 in 2015 to 7,192 in 2022, an increase of about 16.7%. Median income has also risen, from $65,635 in 2015 to $71,095 in 2022, representing an 8.3% increase.

The racial composition of the area has remained relatively stable, with the white population consistently making up around 95% of residents. There has been a slight increase in diversity, with small increases in Asian, Black, and multiracial populations.

Despite these demographic changes, including population growth and rising median income, there have been no new LIHTC projects in zip code 18091 in the past decade. This could suggest that other forms of affordable housing may be meeting the area's needs, or that the existing LIHTC units are sufficient for the current demand.

While these units represent a small percentage of the estimated housing stock, they have provided consistent affordable housing options for over two decades. The area has experienced population growth and increased median income in recent years, but this has not corresponded with new LIHTC developments. This analysis provides insight into the role of LIHTC-funded housing in this specific zip code.
