The stable population and increasing median income, coupled with the existing LIHTC projects, may explain why no new LIHTC developments have been recorded in recent years in zip code 19020. However, the growing diversity and slight population increase could potentially signal a need for future affordable housing considerations.
Zip code 19020 presents a modest but established affordable housing landscape supported by LIHTC funding. With 95 low-income units, primarily one-bedroom accommodations, the area has maintained a consistent affordable housing presence since the late 1990s. While recent years have not seen new LIHTC projects, the zip code's changing demographics and steady population growth suggest that ongoing assessment of affordable housing needs may be beneficial to ensure the community's evolving requirements are met.
