This project represents approximately 0.68% of the estimated 7,784 housing units in Ardmore.
The LIHTC program has allocated $580,785 in tax credits for affordable housing in Ardmore. This single project receives an average federal funding of $580,785, with an average of $10,958 per unit. Ardmore accounts for 0.1% of the total state funding for LIHTC projects in Pennsylvania.
Ardmore Crossing Apartments, completed in 2006, marks the inception of LIHTC-funded affordable housing in the city. For over 15 years, this development has offered 53 one-bedroom units, serving individuals and small families in need of affordable housing.
Demographic trends over the last decade show Ardmore experiencing steady population growth, increasing from 17,736 in 2010 to 20,315 in 2022. The median income has risen from $109,506 in 2013 to $127,951 in 2022, indicating overall economic growth in the area.
Racial distribution in Ardmore has remained relatively stable with a slight increase in diversity. The white population decreased from 80% in 2013 to 77% in 2022, while the Asian population increased from 3% to 8%. The Black population decreased from 9% to 5%, and the Hispanic population remained stable at 4-5%.
The rising median income and relatively stable racial distribution suggest that while the overall economic situation in Ardmore has improved, there may still be a need for affordable housing options for lower-income residents. The LIHTC-funded project, while providing a valuable contribution, may not fully address the potential demand for affordable housing in the area.
In summary, Ardmore's LIHTC-funded affordable housing project, Ardmore Crossing Apartments, provides 53 low-income units, representing a small but significant portion of the city's housing inventory. The project has been serving the community for over 15 years, offering one-bedroom units to those in need. While the city has experienced economic growth and slight changes in racial distribution over the past decade, the continued presence of LIHTC-funded housing suggests an ongoing need for affordable options in this suburban community.
