The population in zip code 65559 has remained relatively stable over the past decade, with minor fluctuations. The population was 9,569 in 2015 and 9,563 in 2022, showing a slight decrease.

The stability in population and modest income growth in zip code 65559, coupled with the lack of new LIHTC projects since 2004, might suggest that the existing affordable housing stock has been sufficient to meet the area's needs. However, the slight increase in diversity could potentially indicate a changing demographic that might require reassessment of affordable housing needs in the future.

Zip code 65559 has two LIHTC funded affordable housing projects providing 56 low-income units, which covers about 1.53% of the estimated housing inventory. These projects, completed in 1990 and 2004, offer a mix of one and two-bedroom units. While the population and racial composition have remained relatively stable over the past decade, there has been a slight increase in diversity and median income. These demographic trends, along with the absence of new LIHTC projects in recent years, suggest a relatively stable affordable housing situation in the zip code. However, ongoing monitoring of demographic changes and housing needs would be prudent to ensure continued alignment between affordable housing supply and community needs.
