Longfellow has experienced demographic shifts over the past decade. The population has remained relatively stable, ranging between 1,818 and 2,267 residents. There has been a significant increase in median income, rising from $30,574 in 2017 to $67,260 in 2022. This income growth may indicate changing economic conditions in the neighborhood.

The racial distribution has also changed. The white population increased from 50% in 2017 to 55% in 2022, while the Black population fluctuated, reaching 32% in 2022. The Hispanic population decreased from 14% to 6% during this period. These demographic shifts may influence future affordable housing needs in the neighborhood.

Despite the absence of new LIHTC projects in the last decade, the existing affordable housing stock continues to play an important role in Longfellow. The rising median income suggests that while some residents may have improved their economic status, a segment of the population likely still benefits from the available affordable housing options.

Longfellow's LIHTC-funded affordable housing inventory represents a significant portion of the neighborhood's estimated housing stock, exceeding typical affordable housing targets. The neighborhood has benefited from LIHTC investments from the late 1980s through the early 2000s, resulting in a diverse range of unit types to accommodate different household sizes. While no new LIHTC projects have been developed recently, the neighborhood has experienced notable demographic changes, including a substantial increase in median income and shifts in racial composition. These trends indicate an evolving community landscape that may influence future affordable housing needs and strategies in Longfellow.
