Over the past decade, Pinehurst has experienced steady population growth, increasing from 14,038 in 2013 to 16,946 in 2022. The median income has also shown an overall upward trend, rising from $75,578 in 2013 to $85,700 in 2022, with some fluctuations in between.

Regarding racial demographics, Pinehurst has maintained a predominantly white population, consistently above 85% throughout the decade. There has been a slight increase in diversity, with small increases in Asian and Hispanic populations, while the Black population has remained relatively stable at around 4%.

The introduction of the LIHTC-funded Pinehurst Senior Apartments in 2018 aligns with the city's growing population and rising median income, suggesting a recognition of the need for affordable housing options, particularly for seniors, in an area with increasing living costs.

Pinehurst's LIHTC-funded affordable housing inventory, while modest in size, represents a significant step towards addressing affordable housing needs in the community. The Pinehurst Senior Apartments, completed in 2018, provides 56 low-income units specifically tailored for senior residents. This project reflects an awareness of the changing demographics and housing needs in a growing community with rising median incomes. While the LIHTC-funded units cover less than 1% of the estimated housing inventory, they play a crucial role in providing affordable options in a predominantly affluent area.
