Over the past decade, Central Southwest has experienced some demographic shifts. The population grew from 69,966 in 2015 to 76,243 in 2022, an increase of about 9%. During this same period, the median income rose from $50,315 to $57,140, representing a 13.6% increase. The racial composition of the neighborhood has remained relatively stable, with Black and Hispanic residents consistently making up the majority of the population. In 2022, the neighborhood was approximately 43% Black, 49% Hispanic, 5% White, and 2% Asian.

The most recent LIHTC project, Altura Heights, was completed in 2017. This coincided with a period of population growth and increasing median income in the neighborhood, suggesting a continued need for affordable housing options despite overall economic improvements.

Central Southwest's LIHTC funded affordable housing inventory, while modest in relation to the overall housing stock, represents a long-term commitment to providing low-income housing options. The neighborhood has seen consistent development of affordable housing projects over more than two decades, with a mix of unit types to accommodate diverse household needs. While demographic trends show population growth and increasing median income, the continued development of LIHTC projects suggests an ongoing demand for affordable housing in this diverse Houston neighborhood.
