Population
Mordecai, a neighborhood in Raleigh, North Carolina, has a Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) funded affordable housing inventory of 9 units. These units constitute the entirety of low-income housing in the area. Based on the 2022 population of 2,991 and the national average household size, Mordecai is estimated to have approximately 1,146 housing units. The LIHTC funded affordable housing represents about 0.79% of the estimated housing inventory in the neighborhood.
The LIHTC program has invested $681,809 in tax credits for affordable housing projects in Mordecai. This equates to an average federal funding of $75,756 per unit. The neighborhood's LIHTC funded affordable housing inventory consists of one project, Parkview Manor Apartments, completed in 2002. This project has provided affordable housing in Mordecai for at least two decades.
Parkview Manor Apartments offers a mix of unit types, including 6 one-bedroom units and 3 two-bedroom units. This distribution indicates a focus on smaller households, potentially serving individuals, couples, or small families.
Mordecai has experienced demographic changes over the past decade. The population has remained relatively stable, increasing slightly from 2,748 in 2015 to 2,991 in 2022. The median income has risen significantly from $59,051 in 2015 to $102,562 in 2022, suggesting a trend towards higher-income households in the neighborhood.
Racial demographics in Mordecai have also shifted. The white population has decreased from 74% in 2015 to 69% in 2022. The Asian population has increased from 2% to 4%. The Black population has decreased from 21% to 17%, and the Hispanic population has grown from 2% to 5% during this period.
Despite these demographic changes, no new LIHTC projects have been developed in Mordecai since 2002. The rising median income and shift in racial composition may indicate changing housing needs in the neighborhood, potentially reducing the demand for additional affordable housing units through the LIHTC program.
Mordecai's LIHTC funded affordable housing inventory consists of a single project with 9 units, completed in 2002. This represents a small portion of the neighborhood's estimated housing stock. The significant increase in median income over the past decade, along with shifts in racial demographics, may have influenced the lack of new LIHTC developments in recent years. The existing LIHTC project continues to provide affordable housing options, but the changing socioeconomic landscape of Mordecai could be affecting the perceived need for additional affordable housing through this specific program.
