Zip code 64114 in Kansas City, Missouri, has a population of 23,552 as of 2022. The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program has funded 4 affordable housing units in this zip code, all of which are designated as low-income units. Based on the estimated housing inventory of 9,024 units, LIHTC-funded affordable housing comprises approximately 0.04% of the zip code's housing stock. This percentage falls significantly below the 15-20% affordable housing target typically recommended for a balanced community.
The LIHTC-funded affordable housing in zip code 64114 has remained unchanged for over three decades. The initial projects were completed in 1987, with two properties located at 8136 Oak St and 8839 Rainbow Ln. The most recent project was finished in 1989 at 9245 Main St. The 1980s saw the entirety of LIHTC activity in this area, with all four projects being completed during this decade.
The available data indicates that of the four total units, two are two-bedroom units and two are three-bedroom units. This distribution suggests a focus on accommodating small to medium-sized families in the affordable housing stock.
Over the past decade, the population in zip code 64114 has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 24,000 and 24,500 residents until a slight decrease to 23,552 in 2022. The median income has shown an overall upward trend, increasing from $65,141 in 2013 to $73,769 in 2022, with a peak of $79,916 in 2021.
Racial demographics have remained fairly consistent, with the white population constituting the majority at approximately 75-78% throughout the decade. The Black population has slightly decreased from 14% in 2013 to 13% in 2022, while the Hispanic population has increased from 4% to 6% during the same period. The Asian population has grown from 1% to 2%, and those identifying as two or more races have increased from 1% to 4%.
Despite these demographic shifts, there have been no new LIHTC projects in zip code 64114 over the past decade. The relatively high and increasing median income may suggest a reduced need for additional low-income housing in this specific area.
Zip code 64114 in Kansas City, Missouri, has a small LIHTC-funded affordable housing inventory, consisting of 4 units across 4 projects, all developed in the late 1980s. This represents a very small fraction (0.04%) of the estimated housing stock in the area. The lack of recent LIHTC activity, combined with rising median incomes and stable population levels, may indicate changing housing needs in this zip code. However, it is important to note that other affordable housing programs not captured in this data may be serving the community's low-income housing needs.
