Crawford Roberts has experienced demographic shifts alongside its affordable housing developments over the past decade. The population decreased from 2,379 in 2010 to 2,235 in 2022. Despite this decline, the median income showed a positive trend, increasing from $13,801 in 2013 to $19,716 in 2022. The racial composition of the neighborhood has remained predominantly Black, though with some changes. The Black population percentage decreased slightly from 83% in 2013 to 78% in 2022, while the White population increased from 8% to 12% over the same period. The Hispanic population experienced a brief increase in the mid-2010s but returned to lower levels by 2022.

These demographic shifts, particularly the rising median income, may reflect the impact of LIHTC investments in the neighborhood. The continued development of affordable housing through 2019 suggests an ongoing need for such units, even as overall economic indicators for the neighborhood improved. Crawford Roberts demonstrates a significant commitment to affordable housing through its LIHTC-funded projects. With nearly 30% of its estimated housing stock dedicated to affordable units, the neighborhood has consistently invested in low-income housing over two decades.

The diverse unit types cater to various household sizes, while the substantial federal investment underscores the importance of these projects. The neighborhood's demographic trends, including a slight population decrease and rising median income, have occurred alongside continued affordable housing development, suggesting a complex interplay between housing policy and community dynamics in Crawford Roberts.
