Harrisburg has experienced a gradual population decline, from 11,634 in 2015 to 10,906 in 2022. Despite this decrease, the median income has shown an overall upward trend, rising from $37,612 in 2015 to $41,800 in 2022. The racial composition has remained relatively stable, with a predominantly white population (93% in 2022), though there has been a slight increase in racial diversity.

The lack of new LIHTC projects in the last decade could be attributed to the declining population and increasing median income, which may have reduced the perceived need for additional affordable housing units. However, other factors and housing programs not captured in this data could also influence the affordable housing landscape in Harrisburg.

Harrisburg's LIHTC-funded affordable housing inventory consists solely of Century Estates Apartments, which has been providing 60 units of affordable housing since 2001. While this project contributes to the city's affordable housing stock, it represents a small percentage of the overall estimated housing inventory. The city's demographic shifts may have influenced the lack of new LIHTC projects during this period. Despite these changes, the continued presence of Century Estates Apartments demonstrates a long-term commitment to providing affordable housing options in Harrisburg.
