The LIHTC-funded housing inventory in this zip code offers a range of unit types. Out of the 208 total units, there are 24 efficiencies, 75 one-bedroom units, and 91 two-bedroom units. This mix accommodates various household sizes and needs within the low-income population.

Over the past decade, zip code 27510 has experienced demographic shifts. The population peaked at 13,682 in 2018 but declined to 12,740 in 2022. Despite this population decrease, the median income has increased, rising from $56,118 in 2019 to $62,930 in 2022.

Racial demographics have also changed. The white population has remained relatively stable, comprising about 64% of the population in 2022. The Black population increased from 13% in 2019 to 17% in 2022, while the Asian population fluctuated between 5-9% during this period. The Hispanic population has remained relatively constant at around 7-8% in recent years.

These demographic changes, particularly the rising median income, may influence the ongoing need for affordable housing in the area. However, the persistent income disparities across different racial groups suggest that affordable housing remains an important resource for maintaining diversity and equity in the community.

Zip code 27510 demonstrates a long-term commitment to affordable housing through its LIHTC-funded projects. While these units represent a small portion of the overall housing stock, they provide essential housing options for low-income residents. The diverse unit types cater to various household sizes, reflecting an effort to meet different community needs. Despite recent population declines, rising median incomes, and shifting racial demographics, the continued presence of LIHTC projects suggests an ongoing recognition of the importance of affordable housing in this area. As the community evolves, monitoring these trends will be crucial for assessing future affordable housing needs and ensuring equitable access to housing for all residents.
