Despite the absence of new LIHTC projects in the last decade, the neighborhood's demographic changes suggest a potential need for additional affordable housing. The rising population and median income could be putting pressure on housing affordability, particularly for lower-income residents.

River Market's LIHTC-funded affordable housing inventory plays a crucial role in meeting the neighborhood's housing needs, covering about 21.2% of the estimated housing stock. The area saw significant affordable housing development in the 1990s, with a focus on smaller units. While no new LIHTC projects have been completed in the past decade, the neighborhood's rapid population growth and rising median income suggest a potential need for additional affordable housing options to maintain a balanced community.
