East Cesar Chavez has experienced notable demographic shifts over the past decade. The population grew from 3,065 in 2013 to 3,640 in 2022, an 18.8% increase. Concurrently, the median income rose from $45,141 in 2013 to $78,288 in 2022, a 73.4% increase.

The racial composition of the neighborhood has changed significantly. The Hispanic population decreased from 64% in 2013 to 18% in 2022, while the White population increased from 31% to 67%. The Black population initially increased from 4% to 15% between 2013 and 2020 but decreased to 5% in 2022. The Asian population grew steadily from 1% to 7% over the decade.

These demographic changes, particularly the significant increase in median income and shift in racial composition, suggest a trend of gentrification in East Cesar Chavez. This may explain the absence of new LIHTC projects in recent years, as the neighborhood's socioeconomic profile has changed, potentially reducing the perceived need for additional affordable housing.

East Cesar Chavez has a substantial LIHTC-funded affordable housing inventory, covering nearly 38% of the estimated housing units. The neighborhood has seen affordable housing development for at least 18 years, with projects offering a range of unit sizes. However, the area has undergone significant demographic changes in the past decade, including population growth, a substantial increase in median income, and shifts in racial composition. These changes may have implications for future affordable housing needs and development in the neighborhood.
