Over the past decade, the Fairground Neighborhood has experienced a substantial population decline, decreasing from 1,202 residents in 2013 to 589 in 2022. Despite this reduction, the median income has shown some fluctuation but overall growth, increasing from $23,949 in 2013 to $25,468 in 2022.

The racial composition of the neighborhood has remained predominantly African American, with a slight decrease from 96% in 2013 to 91% in 2022. There has been a minor increase in diversity, with the white population growing from 4% to 5% and the introduction of a 3% Hispanic population by 2022.

The absence of new LIHTC projects in the last decade may be attributed to the declining population, potentially reducing the perceived need for additional affordable housing units. However, the persistently low median income suggests that affordable housing remains a relevant concern for the community.

The Fairground Neighborhood's LIHTC-funded affordable housing stock, though small, represents a long-standing commitment to providing low-income housing options. The existing units, primarily two and three-bedroom apartments, cater to families. Despite population decline, the neighborhood's median income remains low, indicating an ongoing need for affordable housing solutions. The stable racial composition, with a slight trend towards increased diversity, suggests that these housing units continue to serve a predominantly African American community.
