Zip code 15061 in Monaca, Pennsylvania, contains a single Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) funded affordable housing project. This project, completed in 1987, comprises 2 total affordable units, all of which are designated as low-income units. Based on the 2022 population of 13,675 and an estimated 5,239 housing units, the LIHTC-funded affordable housing represents approximately 0.04% of the zip code's estimated housing inventory. This indicates that LIHTC-funded affordable housing has a minimal presence in meeting the area's overall housing needs.
The LIHTC program has provided $2,223 in tax credits for affordable housing projects in this zip code. With 2 total units funded, this translates to an average federal funding of $1,111.50 per unit. The sole LIHTC-funded project in the area is "1297 Brodhead Rd," which has been present in the zip code for over three decades.
The project consists of one one-bedroom unit and one three-bedroom unit, providing a mix of housing options for different household sizes. There are no efficiency units or two- or four-bedroom units in this LIHTC-funded development.
Over the past decade, the population in zip code 15061 has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 13,400 and 13,800 residents. The median income has shown an overall upward trend, increasing from $60,183 in 2015 to $65,500 in 2022. This rise in median income may suggest a decreased need for additional affordable housing in recent years.
Racial demographics have remained largely consistent, with the white population comprising the majority (91% in 2022). There has been a slight increase in diversity, with small increases in Black, Hispanic, and multi-racial populations. The stable population and increasing median income, coupled with the lack of new LIHTC projects in recent years, may indicate that the area's affordable housing needs are being met through other means or that there is less demand for additional LIHTC-funded housing.
Zip code 15061 in Monaca, Pennsylvania, has a single LIHTC-funded affordable housing project with 2 units, completed in 1987. This represents a very small portion (0.04%) of the estimated housing inventory. The area has seen stable population levels and increasing median income over the past decade, which may partly explain the lack of new LIHTC projects. While the LIHTC program's contribution to affordable housing in this zip code is minimal, other affordable housing programs or initiatives not captured in this data may be addressing local housing needs.
