Population
Uhrichsville, Ohio, a city with a population of 6,155 as of 2022, has a Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) funded affordable housing inventory of 72 units. These units represent approximately 3.1% of the city's estimated 2,358 housing units. The affordable housing stock is distributed across three projects: Clay Village Apartments, Buckeye House Apartments, and Randall's Rentals.
The LIHTC-funded projects in Uhrichsville were developed between 1987 and 1992. Clay Village Apartments, completed in 1987, is the largest project with 41 units. Buckeye House Apartments follows with 27 units, and Randall's Rentals, finished in 1992, has 4 units. The 1980s saw the most significant activity in LIHTC-funded housing development in the city.
Uhrichsville's population has declined over the past decade, decreasing from 6,703 in 2013 to 6,155 in 2022. Despite this population decrease, the median income has increased from $30,260 in 2013 to $46,845 in 2022. This trend in median income may suggest a reduced need for additional affordable housing in recent years.
The racial composition of Uhrichsville has remained relatively stable. The white population consistently represents the majority, comprising 95-96% of residents in recent years. There has been a slight increase in diversity, with small percentages of Black, Hispanic, and multiracial residents emerging over the past decade.
Uhrichsville's LIHTC-funded affordable housing inventory provides 72 low-income units across three projects. These projects, all completed between 1987 and 1992, represent about 3.1% of the city's estimated housing stock. The city has experienced a declining population but rising median incomes over the past decade, which may have influenced the lack of new LIHTC projects in recent years. The existing affordable housing continues to play a role in meeting the needs of low-income residents in Uhrichsville.
