Over the past decade, Darien's population has remained relatively stable, with a slight decrease from 28,706 in 2014 to 27,490 in 2022. During this period, the median income has increased from $86,540 in 2014 to $102,577 in 2022, suggesting an improvement in the economic status of residents.

The racial composition of Darien has remained fairly consistent, with a slight decrease in the white population from 80% in 2014 to 76% in 2022. There has been a small increase in the Hispanic population from 4% to 8% during this period. The Asian population has remained stable at around 9-10%, while the Black population has stayed at approximately 2-3%.

The absence of new LIHTC projects in the last decade could be attributed to the rising median income and the relatively stable population, potentially indicating a reduced need for additional low-income housing units.

Darien's LIHTC-funded affordable housing inventory provides a resource for low-income residents. Myers Commons Senior Housing has been serving the community since 2006, primarily offering one-bedroom units. Despite the city's increasing median income and stable population, the existing LIHTC project continues to play a role in maintaining housing diversity in Darien. The demographic trends suggest a gradual shift in the city's racial composition, which may influence future affordable housing needs and initiatives.
