West Central has experienced demographic changes over the past decade. The population increased from 3,973 in 2013 to 4,090 in 2022. Concurrently, the median income rose significantly from $22,996 in 2013 to $35,765 in 2022, suggesting changing economic conditions in the neighborhood.

Racial demographics have remained relatively stable, with the white population consistently representing the majority. There has been a slight increase in diversity, with minor fluctuations in the percentages of Black, Hispanic, and multi-racial residents over the years.

The completion of Randall Lofts in 2014 coincides with a period of population growth and the beginning of the upward trend in median income. This timing suggests that the LIHTC project may have been a response to growing housing needs in the neighborhood as it underwent demographic changes.

West Central's affordable housing landscape is primarily shaped by Randall Lofts, which provides 42 low-income units. This project contributes to the neighborhood's affordable housing stock, though it represents a small percentage of the estimated total housing inventory. The neighborhood has experienced population growth and significant increases in median income over the past decade, potentially influencing the demand for affordable housing. The stability in racial demographics, coupled with the modest increase in diversity, provides context for the community served by this LIHTC development.
