All 18 units in the LIHTC-funded project are one-bedroom apartments, indicating a focus on housing for individuals or small households. The project does not have a specified target population, suggesting it may serve a general low-income demographic.

Over the past decade, zip code 16242 has experienced a slight decline in population, from 5,151 in 2013 to 4,868 in 2022. Despite this decrease, the median income has shown an upward trend, rising from $41,697 in 2013 to $48,171 in 2022. This income growth may indicate changing economic conditions in the area.

The racial composition of zip code 16242 has remained predominantly white, consistently above 97% throughout the decade. This stability in demographic makeup suggests that the affordable housing needs have likely remained relatively constant over time.

Zip code 16242 has a single LIHTC-funded affordable housing project that has been serving the community since 1996. While it represents a small portion of the estimated housing inventory, it provides 18 one-bedroom units for low-income residents. The area has experienced modest population decline and income growth over the past decade, with a stable racial composition. These factors, combined with the longstanding presence of the South Bethlehem House Apartments, indicate a consistent, albeit limited, contribution of LIHTC-funded housing to the area's affordable housing needs.
