Over the last decade, North Catasauqua has experienced slight fluctuations in population, with a general trend towards growth. The population increased from 2,831 in 2019 to 2,956 in 2022.

Median income has shown an overall upward trend, rising from $70,731 in 2019 to $70,213 in 2022, with a peak of $74,466 in 2021. This suggests a generally improving economic situation for residents, which may impact the demand for affordable housing.

Racial demographics have shifted noticeably. The white population decreased from 87% in 2019 to 73% in 2022, while the Hispanic population increased from 9% to 18% during the same period. The Black population also saw an increase from 2% to 7%. These changes indicate a growing diversity in the city's population.

Despite these demographic shifts, there have been no new LIHTC projects in the last decade. This could be due to various factors, including potentially sufficient existing affordable housing options or changes in local housing policies.

North Catasauqua's LIHTC-funded affordable housing inventory is limited to one project with 4 units, all one-bedroom apartments. This project, completed in 1995, represents a small fraction of the city's estimated housing stock. While the city has experienced population growth, increased median income, and significant shifts in racial demographics over the past decade, there have been no new LIHTC projects during this period. The reasons for this lack of new affordable housing development through LIHTC could be multifaceted and would require further investigation into local housing policies and other affordable housing programs to fully understand the city's affordable housing landscape.
