Eastland's population has increased from 7,826 in 2013 to 8,774 in 2022. The median income has remained relatively stable, ranging between $30,000 and $34,000 annually. The neighborhood has maintained a predominantly Black population, consistently representing over 55% of residents. The White population has decreased from 25% in 2013 to 17% in 2022, while the Hispanic population has increased from 12% to 15% during the same period. The Asian population and those identifying as two or more races have also experienced small increases.

The demographic shifts, including population growth and stable low-to-moderate income levels, suggest an ongoing need for affordable housing in Eastland. However, no new LIHTC projects have been recorded in the last decade, potentially indicating that other housing assistance programs are addressing this need or that opportunities exist for further affordable housing development.

Eastland's LIHTC funded affordable housing inventory represents a significant investment in the neighborhood's low-income residents, despite its modest size relative to the estimated total housing stock. The focus on two and three-bedroom units indicates a family-oriented approach to affordable housing. The neighborhood's demographic trends suggest a continued need for affordable housing options. While LIHTC development was active in the 1990s, the absence of recent projects presents an opportunity for potential future affordable housing initiatives to address the evolving needs of Eastland's diverse community.
