The LIHTC-funded housing in Ridgecrest includes a mix of unit types. There are 26 one-bedroom units, 39 two-bedroom units, and 48 three-bedroom units. This distribution suggests a focus on accommodating families of various sizes.

One notable project is the Ridgecrest Senior Apts, completed in 2012, which targets the "At-Risk" population. This project likely addresses the specific needs of vulnerable senior citizens in the community.

Over the past decade, Ridgecrest's population has remained relatively stable, with a slight increase from 28,858 in 2010 to 30,222 in 2022. The median income has shown an overall upward trend, rising from $68,101 in 2013 to $74,797 in 2022. This increase in median income might indicate a growing need for affordable housing options for lower-income residents.

The racial distribution in Ridgecrest has remained fairly consistent over the past decade. The white population has slightly decreased from 68% in 2013 to 66% in 2022, while the Hispanic population has increased from 17% to 21% during the same period. This shift in demographics could potentially influence future affordable housing needs and planning.

Ridgecrest's LIHTC-funded affordable housing inventory represents a small but significant portion of the city's housing stock. The city has received over $1.6 million in tax credits, supporting four projects that provide 161 units, including 87 low-income units. The affordable housing projects span over two decades, with the most recent focusing on at-risk senior populations. While the population has remained relatively stable, the increasing median income and slight shifts in racial demographics may influence future affordable housing needs in Ridgecrest.
