Jefferson City's population has fluctuated over the past decade, decreasing slightly from 13,708 in 2014 to 13,901 in 2022. The median income has shown an overall upward trend, increasing from $41,598 in 2014 to $48,793 in 2022. This rise in median income may indicate an increased need for affordable housing options for lower-income residents.

The city has maintained a predominantly white population, with a slight decrease from 90% in 2014 to 87% in 2022. The Hispanic population has increased from 3% in 2014 to 7% in 2022. These demographic shifts, although minor, could potentially influence future affordable housing needs in the city.

Jefferson City's LIHTC-funded affordable housing inventory, comprising a single project, has been a consistent presence in the community since 1999. Bradford Square Apartments provides 5 two-bedroom units for low-income residents. While the LIHTC-funded units cover only a small percentage of the city's estimated housing inventory, they represent a resource for affordable housing in the community. The city's demographic trends, including rising median income and slight shifts in racial composition, may influence future affordable housing needs and potential LIHTC developments in Jefferson City.
