Over the past decade, the Northwest neighborhood has experienced fluctuations in its demographic makeup. The population has remained relatively stable, with 8,908 residents in 2022 compared to 9,229 in 2014. There has been an increase in median income, rising from $47,001 in 2014 to $54,823 in 2022, representing a 16.6% increase.

Racial demographics have shifted slightly. The Black population has remained the majority but decreased from 55% in 2014 to 58% in 2022. The White population has increased marginally from 27% to 31% during the same period. There has been an increase in the Asian population, growing from 2% in 2014 to 6% in 2022.

These demographic shifts, particularly the increase in median income, may partially explain why there have not been new LIHTC projects in recent years. The rising income levels could indicate a reduced need for additional affordable housing in the neighborhood.

The Northwest neighborhood of University City, Missouri, has a modest LIHTC-funded affordable housing inventory, consisting of 12 three-bedroom units. This represents a small percentage of the estimated housing stock, providing affordable options for larger households since the early 1990s. The neighborhood has experienced demographic changes over the past decade, including an increase in median income and shifts in racial composition. These changes may have influenced the lack of recent LIHTC developments in the area. Other affordable housing programs not captured in this data may also be contributing to the neighborhood's housing needs.
