Over the past decade, Fair Haven's population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 14,000 and 15,000 residents. The median income has shown an overall upward trend, rising from $31,935 in 2013 to $37,297 in 2022, despite some fluctuations. This increase in median income could potentially indicate a reduced need for additional affordable housing in recent years.

The racial composition of Fair Haven has experienced some shifts. The Hispanic population, while still the majority, has decreased from 68% in 2017 to 55% in 2022. Conversely, the Black and White populations have increased slightly, with the Black population rising from 17% to 23% and the White population from 13% to 19% over the same period. These demographic changes may influence future affordable housing needs and strategies in the neighborhood.

Fair Haven's LIHTC-funded affordable housing inventory represents a significant portion of the neighborhood's housing stock, covering about 5.2% of the estimated total units. The neighborhood has seen consistent investment in affordable housing through the LIHTC program, with projects spanning from 1998 to 2011. The unit mix suggests a focus on accommodating families of various sizes. While the population has remained relatively stable over the past decade, the increasing median income and shifting racial demographics may influence future affordable housing needs in Fair Haven.
