Over the past decade, the North End has experienced some demographic shifts. The population has remained relatively stable, with a slight increase from 7,006 in 2010 to 7,342 in 2022. Median income has shown notable growth, rising from $54,934 in 2013 to $66,050 in 2022, indicating improving economic conditions for residents.

Racial diversity in the neighborhood has increased slightly. While the white population remains predominant, there has been a small but noticeable increase in other racial groups. For instance, the Black population increased from 1% in 2013 to 5% in 2022, and the Hispanic population doubled from 1% to 2% during the same period.

The completion of Marquette Hall in 2019 coincides with these demographic changes, suggesting a response to evolving housing needs in the neighborhood. The increase in median income and slight diversification of the population may have influenced the decision to develop new affordable housing options to maintain a balanced community.

The North End neighborhood in Dubuque has maintained a consistent commitment to affordable housing through the LIHTC program over three decades. While LIHTC-funded units represent a small portion of the estimated housing inventory, they play a crucial role in providing affordable options. The most significant development occurred recently with Marquette Hall, adding a substantial number of units and diverse housing types. This coincides with demographic shifts, including rising median incomes and increasing racial diversity, indicating an evolving neighborhood landscape. The ongoing investment in affordable housing through LIHTC demonstrates a sustained effort to meet the changing needs of the North End's residents.
