The stability in population and the increase in median income may suggest a reduced need for additional affordable housing in recent years. However, the slight shifts in racial demographics could indicate changing housing needs for different communities.

Zip code 15146 in Monroeville has a modest LIHTC-funded affordable housing inventory, representing less than 1% of its estimated housing stock. The area received a small portion of Pennsylvania's LIHTC funding, with two projects providing 48 units of affordable housing. There has been no new LIHTC development in the last decade, coinciding with stable population levels and increasing median income. The changing racial demographics suggest that ongoing assessment of affordable housing needs may be beneficial to ensure the community's evolving needs are met.
