Over the past decade, zip code 60439 has experienced moderate population growth, increasing from 24,194 in 2015 to 25,408 in 2022. The median income has risen substantially, from $97,869 in 2015 to $114,918 in 2022, indicating an overall increase in affluence.

The racial composition of the zip code has remained relatively stable, with a slight increase in diversity. The white population decreased marginally from 89% in 2015 to 88% in 2022, while the Asian population increased from 2% to 3%. The Hispanic population remained steady at around 7%.

Despite the rising median income, the lack of new LIHTC projects in the last decade might be attributed to the relatively high overall income levels in the area, potentially reducing the perceived need for additional affordable housing. However, it is important to note that even in affluent areas, there can still be a segment of the population requiring affordable housing options.

Zip code 60439 has a single LIHTC-funded affordable housing project, Lemont Senior Housing, which has been serving the community since 2000. This project provides 43 low-income units, representing a small fraction of the estimated housing inventory. The area has experienced moderate population growth and significant income increases over the past decade, with minimal changes in racial composition. The lack of recent LIHTC developments may be influenced by the area's rising affluence, though this does not necessarily negate the need for affordable housing options for all segments of the population.
