The zip code has experienced steady population growth over the past decade, increasing from 12,548 in 2010 to 15,335 in 2022. The median income has generally trended upward, reaching $72,844 in 2022. The racial composition has remained predominantly white, consistently above 90%, with slight increases in diversity in recent years. The completion of LIHTC projects in 2012 and 2016 aligns with the period of population growth, suggesting a response to increased housing demand. The relatively high median income might explain the absence of additional LIHTC projects in recent years, as the community's overall economic profile may not indicate a pressing need for more low-income housing.
