Over the past decade, Brighton Heights has experienced some demographic shifts. The population has decreased from 10,574 in 2013 to 9,232 in 2022. Despite this population decline, the median income has shown an upward trend, rising from $51,266 in 2013 to $62,761 in 2022. This increase in median income suggests a changing economic landscape in the neighborhood.

Racial demographics have also evolved. The white population has decreased from 76% in 2013 to 70% in 2022, while the Black population has increased from 20% to 24% during the same period. The Hispanic and Asian populations have remained relatively stable, each representing about 1-2% of the neighborhood's population.

The lack of new LIHTC projects in the last decade could be related to the rising median income, which might have reduced the perceived need for additional affordable housing. However, other affordable housing programs not captured in this data might also be addressing the community's needs.

Brighton Heights has a modest LIHTC-funded affordable housing presence, with 18 units in one project completed in 2002. This represents a small portion of the estimated housing inventory. The neighborhood has experienced population decline and income growth over the past decade, along with shifts in racial demographics. While no new LIHTC projects have been developed recently, the existing affordable housing continues to play a role in the community's housing landscape. Further research into other affordable housing programs and local housing policies would provide a more comprehensive understanding of Brighton Heights' affordable housing situation.
