Mariners Harbor has experienced demographic changes over the past decade. The population increased from 22,310 in 2015 to 26,492 in 2022, indicating rising housing demand. Median income also increased significantly, from $67,817 in 2015 to $83,191 in 2022, potentially affecting affordable housing needs.

Racial demographics have shown minor shifts. The Hispanic population remained stable at 37-38% of the total population. The Black population decreased from 30% in 2015 to 24% in 2022, while the Asian population increased from 11% to 14%. The White population remained relatively constant at 21-22%.

Despite demographic changes, there appears to have been no significant LIHTC-funded affordable housing development in the last decade. This could be attributed to various factors, including the rising median income, which may have reduced the perceived need for additional low-income housing units.

The LIHTC-funded affordable housing inventory in Mariners Harbor, while modest compared to total estimated housing units, provides important low-income housing options. Existing projects, primarily developed in the 1990s, offer a mix of unit types for different household sizes. The neighborhood has experienced population growth and increased median income over the past decade, with relatively stable racial composition. The lack of recent LIHTC-funded projects may warrant investigation into current affordable housing needs, considering changing demographics and economic conditions.
