Hoffman Estates, located in Illinois, has a population of 71,041 as of 2022. The city has one Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) funded affordable housing project, providing a total of 121 affordable units, including 9 low-income units. Based on the estimated housing inventory of 27,219 units, the LIHTC-funded affordable housing covers approximately 0.44% of the city's housing stock.
The city has received $1,020,000 in project tax credits through the LIHTC program for affordable housing. With one project funded, this translates to an average federal funding of $1,020,000 per project and $8,430 per unit. Hoffman Estates holds 0.13% of the total state LIHTC funding.
The sole LIHTC-funded project in Hoffman Estates is Poplar Creek Village, completed in 2006. This project has been providing affordable housing in the city for over 15 years. The breakdown of units in this project includes 82 one-bedroom units and 39 two-bedroom units, with no efficiencies, three-bedroom, or four-bedroom units.
Over the past decade, Hoffman Estates has experienced slight fluctuations in population, with a peak of 72,375 residents in 2017 and a decrease to 71,041 by 2022. The median income has shown an overall upward trend, rising from $90,068 in 2013 to $98,543 in 2022.
Racial demographics have shifted during this period. The Asian population has increased from 22% in 2013 to 29% in 2022, while the white population has decreased from 54% to 45%. The Hispanic population has remained relatively stable at around 18-19%, and the Black population has seen a slight increase from 3% to 5%.
Despite these demographic changes, there have been no new LIHTC projects in the last decade. This could be due to various factors, including the relatively high median income of the area, which may reduce the perceived need for additional low-income housing.
