Over the past decade, the neighborhood has experienced demographic shifts. The population has decreased from 2,508 in 2015 to 1,980 in 2022, a decline of about 21%. Despite this population decrease, the median income has shown an overall increase, rising from $19,372 in 2015 to $25,817 in 2022, representing a 33% increase. Racial demographics have also shifted. The Black population decreased from 59% in 2015 to 50% in 2022, while the White population increased from 27% to 39% during the same period. The Hispanic population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 8% and 15% over the decade. These demographic changes, particularly the declining population and increasing median income, may suggest evolving housing needs in the neighborhood. However, the continued presence of a significant low-income population underscores the ongoing importance of affordable housing options.

The Sharon Line-McGuffey Heights neighborhood demonstrates a substantial commitment to affordable housing through its LIHTC funded projects. With 307 total units, of which 290 are low-income, these projects cover a significant portion of the estimated housing inventory. The neighborhood saw most of its LIHTC development in the early 2000s, providing a variety of unit types to cater to diverse household needs. Despite demographic changes over the past decade, including population decline and increased median income, the presence of these affordable housing units continues to play a crucial role in meeting the community's housing needs.
