The racial composition of Junction West has evolved significantly. The white population decreased from 70% in 2013 to 58% in 2022, while the Hispanic population increased from 10% to 20% during the same period. The Asian population remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 11% and 17% over the decade. The black population, though still a small percentage, increased from less than 1% to 4% by 2022.

These demographic shifts, particularly the increase in racial diversity and median income, may influence the ongoing need for affordable housing in the neighborhood. However, no new LIHTC projects have been recorded since 1998, which could indicate that other affordable housing programs or initiatives might be addressing the evolving needs of the community.

Junction West's affordable housing landscape is characterized by a single LIHTC project, Sutter Terrace, which has been providing 99 low-income units since 1998. While this project covers about 4.12% of the estimated housing inventory, the neighborhood has experienced significant demographic changes over the past decade. The rising median income, coupled with increasing racial diversity, suggests a dynamic community that may have evolving affordable housing needs. The absence of new LIHTC projects in recent years might indicate that other housing initiatives are supplementing the existing affordable housing stock to meet the community's changing requirements.
