The 1990s saw the most affordable housing activity, with projects like Dixon Units completed in 1995. The distribution of units includes 9 one-bedroom, 50 two-bedroom, 32 three-bedroom, and 8 four-bedroom units, providing a range of options for different household sizes.

Over the past decade, Newton's population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between approximately 19,800 and 21,200 residents. The median income has shown a steady increase from $42,322 in 2013 to $58,099 in 2022, potentially indicating improved economic conditions for some residents.

Racial demographics have seen slight shifts, with the white population decreasing from 71% in 2013 to 70% in 2022. The Hispanic population has grown from 9% to 13% during this period, while the Black population has remained relatively stable at around 9-12%. These changes suggest a gradually diversifying community.

The lack of new LIHTC projects in the last decade, despite population stability and income growth, may indicate that other affordable housing initiatives or existing inventory are meeting current needs. However, the rising median income could potentially mask affordability challenges for lower-income residents.

Newton's LIHTC-funded affordable housing inventory, while modest in scale, provides essential low-income units to the community. The city's diverse unit types cater to various household sizes, and the long-standing presence of affordable housing since 1988 demonstrates a consistent commitment to addressing housing needs. While demographic shifts have been gradual, the rising median income and stable population suggest a potentially changing landscape for affordable housing demand. Continued monitoring of housing affordability in relation to income trends will be crucial for future planning and development decisions.
