Dalmatia, Pennsylvania, has a limited Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) funded affordable housing inventory. The city contains 24 affordable housing units, all classified as low-income. These units represent approximately 4.9% of the city's estimated 489 housing units.
Dalmatia has received $199,256 in project tax credits from the LIHTC program for affordable housing. This funding supports one project, resulting in an average federal funding of $199,256 per project and $8,302 per unit. The city accounts for 0.03% of the total state LIHTC funding.
The city's sole LIHTC-funded affordable housing project, Georgetown Heights, was completed in 2004. This project has provided affordable housing in Dalmatia for nearly two decades. Georgetown Heights consists of 24 units, comprising 22 one-bedroom units and 2 two-bedroom units.
Dalmatia has experienced a gradual population decline over the past decade, decreasing from 1,503 residents in 2013 to 1,277 in 2022. Despite this population decrease, the median income has shown an overall increase, rising from $47,634 in 2013 to $59,179 in 2022. The racial composition of the city has remained relatively stable, with the white population consistently representing 98-99% of residents throughout this period.
The absence of new LIHTC projects in the last decade may be attributed to the declining population and increasing median income, potentially reducing the perceived need for additional low-income housing units.
Dalmatia's LIHTC-funded affordable housing inventory consists of one project, Georgetown Heights, completed in 2004. The 24 low-income units represent about 4.9% of the city's estimated housing stock. This percentage falls below the typical target for affordable housing, although other programs may contribute to the overall affordable housing inventory.
The city has experienced a population decline and an increase in median income over the past decade, which may have influenced the lack of new LIHTC projects. The racial composition has remained predominantly white. These demographic trends, combined with the existing LIHTC-funded units, provide context for understanding the affordable housing landscape in Dalmatia.
