The LIHTC funded housing inventory in Altoona comprises 38 efficiencies, 119 one-bedroom units, 59 two-bedroom units, 30 three-bedroom units, and 11 four-bedroom units. This distribution suggests a focus on smaller household sizes in the affordable housing stock.

Over the past decade, Altoona's population has decreased from 46,066 in 2013 to 44,003 in 2022. The median income has increased from $37,031 in 2013 to $46,063 in 2022, indicating some economic growth. The racial composition has remained relatively stable, with a slight decrease in the white population from 93% in 2013 to 90% in 2022, and small increases in Hispanic and multiracial populations.

The most recent LIHTC project was completed in 2018, which aligns with the period of population decline and income growth. This suggests that while the overall population was decreasing, there was still a recognized need for affordable housing in the city.

Altoona's LIHTC funded affordable housing inventory represents a small but significant portion of the city's estimated housing stock. The city has consistently developed affordable housing projects over three decades, with a mix of unit sizes to accommodate various household needs. While the population has slightly declined in recent years, the continued development of LIHTC projects indicates an ongoing commitment to providing affordable housing options for low-income residents. The increase in median income, coupled with the stable racial composition, suggests that Altoona has been maintaining its affordable housing efforts while experiencing modest economic growth.
