Grove Apartments, completed in 2008, specifically targets single-parent families. This focus addresses the unique challenges faced by this demographic, potentially providing supportive services or amenities tailored to their needs.

Over the past decade, Northbrook has experienced demographic shifts. The population decreased from 5,624 in 2015 to 5,130 in 2022, an 8.8% decline. Despite this population decrease, the median income has risen significantly, from $27,749 in 2015 to $40,510 in 2022, representing a 46% increase.

The racial composition of the neighborhood has remained relatively stable, with a predominantly Black population (91% in 2022). There has been a slight increase in diversity, with small increases in Asian, Hispanic, and multiracial residents.

The absence of new LIHTC projects in the last decade could be attributed to the rising median income and declining population, potentially indicating a reduced need for additional affordable housing units.

Northbrook's LIHTC-funded affordable housing inventory covers a significant portion of the estimated housing stock, aligning with recommended levels for a balanced community. The neighborhood has benefited from substantial federal investment in affordable housing, with projects catering to various family sizes and specific populations like single-parent families. While the population has slightly decreased over the past decade, median incomes have risen considerably. The stable racial composition and lack of recent LIHTC projects suggest that the current affordable housing stock may be meeting the community's needs, though ongoing monitoring of demographic trends will be crucial for future housing planning.
