Population
Fredericktown, Missouri, a small city with a population of 4,886 as of 2022, has a Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) funded affordable housing inventory of 40 units. These units, all designated as low-income, represent approximately 2.14% of the city's estimated housing stock of 1,872 units.
The city's LIHTC-funded projects span over three decades. The earliest project, "200 Watson St," was completed in 1988, while "Cherokee Trails Apts" was finished in 2000. This indicates that affordable housing has been a part of Fredericktown's landscape for at least 34 years. The 1990s witnessed the most significant affordable housing development activity in the city.
Fredericktown's LIHTC-funded projects offer diverse unit types. The 40 total units comprise 12 one-bedroom units, 20 two-bedroom units, and 8 three-bedroom units. This distribution suggests an effort to accommodate various household sizes, from individuals to small families.
Fredericktown's population has remained relatively stable over the past decade, fluctuating between 4,300 and 4,900 residents. The median income has shown an upward trend, increasing from $31,985 in 2015 to $48,968 in 2022. This improvement in median income may partially explain the absence of new LIHTC projects in recent years.
The racial composition of Fredericktown has remained predominantly white, consistently around 91-92% of the population. There has been a slight increase in Hispanic residents, from 1% in 2015 to 5% in 2022, and a small increase in residents identifying as two or more races, from 1% to 2% over the same period.
Fredericktown's LIHTC-funded affordable housing inventory, while modest in size, provides 40 low-income units across three projects. These units represent about 2.14% of the city's estimated housing stock. The city's affordable housing development through LIHTC has been consistent, with projects spanning from 1988 to 2000. The units offer a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom options, catering to various household sizes. While the city's population has remained stable, the rising median income over the past decade may have influenced the lack of recent LIHTC developments. The racial composition has seen minor shifts, with a slight increase in diversity, particularly in the Hispanic population.
