Population
Pleasant Grove, Alabama, with a population of 10,483 as of 2022, has one Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) funded affordable housing project. This project provides 40 affordable units, including 4 designated low-income units. Based on the estimated housing inventory of 4,016 units, the LIHTC-funded affordable housing comprises approximately 1% of the city's housing stock.
The city has received $401,705 in project tax credits from the LIHTC program for affordable housing. This amount equates to an average federal funding of $401,705 per project and $10,043 per unit. Pleasant Grove holds 0.23% of the total state LIHTC funding.
The sole LIHTC-funded project in Pleasant Grove is the Arbors At Ellington, completed in 2009. This project marks the inception of LIHTC-funded affordable housing in the city and has been operational for over a decade. The Arbors At Ellington consists of 40 units, including 8 one-bedroom and 32 two-bedroom units. This distribution indicates a focus on accommodating small families and individuals in the affordable housing inventory.
Pleasant Grove has experienced a slight decline in population over the past decade, from 11,128 in 2017 to 10,483 in 2022. The median income has fluctuated, reaching $76,301 in 2021 before decreasing to $70,285 in 2022.
Racial demographics have undergone significant changes, with the Black population increasing from 57% in 2017 to 66% in 2022, while the White population decreased from 42% to 30% during the same period. The Hispanic population and those identifying as two or more races have slightly increased, reaching 1% and 2% respectively in 2022.
Despite these demographic shifts, no new LIHTC projects have been developed in the last decade. This could be attributed to various factors, including the city's relatively high median income, which may suggest less need for additional low-income housing.
Pleasant Grove's single LIHTC-funded affordable housing project, the Arbors At Ellington, completed in 2009, provides 40 affordable units, representing about 1% of the city's estimated housing inventory. While the city has experienced demographic changes in the past decade, including a slight population decline and shifts in racial composition, no new LIHTC projects have been developed during this time. The existing project continues to contribute to the city's affordable housing needs, but further analysis of other housing programs and local economic factors would be necessary to fully assess the adequacy of affordable housing in Pleasant Grove.
