The 1990s marked the most active period in affordable housing development in the Northside, with two projects completed during this decade. This period established the foundation for the neighborhood's current affordable housing stock.

Over the past decade, the Northside has experienced fluctuations in its population, with a notable increase from 2,928 in 2019 to 3,680 in 2020, followed by a decrease to 2,864 in 2022. Simultaneously, the median income has demonstrated a significant upward trend, rising from $35,389 in 2017 to $56,556 in 2022.

The racial composition of the neighborhood has remained relatively stable, with the white population consistently representing the majority. However, there has been a slight increase in diversity, with the Hispanic population growing from 3% in 2017 to 9% in 2022.

Despite these demographic shifts, no new LIHTC projects have been developed in the last decade. This may be attributed to the rising median income, which could have reduced the perceived need for additional affordable housing units in the area.

The Northside neighborhood of Missoula possesses a modest LIHTC-funded affordable housing inventory, representing a small percentage of its estimated housing stock. The area experienced most of its affordable housing development in the 1990s and early 2000s, with no new projects in the past decade. While the population has fluctuated and median income has increased, the racial composition has remained relatively stable with a slight increase in diversity. These demographic trends may have influenced the lack of recent LIHTC development in the neighborhood.
