Over the past decade, the population in zip code 14526 has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 18,351 and 19,942 residents. The median income has shown an overall upward trend, increasing from $87,410 in 2013 to $91,693 in 2022, with a peak of $107,075 in 2021. Racial demographics have remained largely consistent, with the white population comprising the majority (around 87-90%) throughout the decade. There has been a slight increase in diversity, with small growth in Hispanic and multi-racial populations.

The stability in population and gradual increase in median income might explain the lack of new LIHTC projects in the last decade, as the economic conditions may not have indicated a growing need for additional affordable housing units.

Zip code 14526 in East Rochester has a modest LIHTC-funded affordable housing presence, covering about 1.38% of the estimated housing stock. The area has seen two LIHTC projects completed in the 2000s, providing 102 total units with a focus on family-sized accommodations. While the population has remained stable and median incomes have increased over the past decade, the racial composition has shown slight diversification. These demographic trends may have influenced the lack of new LIHTC developments in recent years, though other affordable housing programs not captured in this data may also be contributing to the area's affordable housing needs.
