Over the past decade, the North End has experienced demographic changes. The population has increased from 9,557 in 2017 to 10,365 in 2022, a growth of about 8.5%. Median income has also risen, from $71,315 in 2017 to $73,395 in 2022, reflecting a modest 2.9% increase.

The racial composition has remained relatively stable, with the white population comprising the majority. However, there has been a slight increase in diversity, with the percentage of white residents decreasing from 88% in 2017 to 85% in 2022. The Hispanic population has increased from 4% to 6%, and residents identifying as two or more races have grown from 2% to 5% during this period.

The absence of new LIHTC projects in the last decade, despite population growth and rising incomes, may suggest that other affordable housing programs are addressing low-income housing needs in the area, or that the neighborhood's demographics may not align with the typical criteria for additional LIHTC developments.

The North End neighborhood of Boise City has a single LIHTC-funded affordable housing project, Patterson, which has been providing 2 low-income units since 1993. While this represents a small fraction of the estimated housing inventory, it is important to note that LIHTC is only one of many potential affordable housing programs. The neighborhood has experienced moderate population growth and income increases over the past decade, along with slight increases in racial diversity. These demographic trends, combined with the lack of new LIHTC projects, suggest that the affordable housing landscape in the North End may be influenced by factors beyond what the LIHTC program alone can address.
