Washington Heights has experienced demographic shifts over the past decade. The population has remained relatively stable, with slight fluctuations. In 2013, the population was 5,195, and by 2022, it had increased slightly to 5,213.

Median income in the neighborhood has shown a significant increase. In 2013, the median income was $36,530, and by 2022, it had risen to $51,408, representing a 40.7% increase over this period. This trend indicates an overall improvement in the economic conditions of the neighborhood's residents.

Racial demographics have remained consistent, with the Black population constituting the majority. In 2013, 98% of the population was Black, and this percentage remained at 98% in 2022. There has been a slight increase in diversity, with small percentages of White and multi-racial residents appearing in recent years.

The stability of the LIHTC housing inventory alongside the increasing median income suggests that the existing affordable housing units have been sufficient to meet the neighborhood's needs. However, other affordable housing programs not captured in this data might also be contributing to the neighborhood's housing landscape.

Washington Heights has maintained a consistent LIHTC-funded affordable housing presence since 2000, with 85 units primarily serving seniors. While this covers only a small percentage of the estimated housing inventory, it has remained stable amidst demographic changes. The neighborhood has experienced a significant increase in median income over the past decade while maintaining a predominantly Black population. These trends provide context for understanding the role of LIHTC-funded housing in Washington Heights and may inform future affordable housing strategies in the area.
