The LIHTC-funded affordable housing in Oak Park consists entirely of one-bedroom units, with all 51 units designated as low-income housing.

Over the last decade, Oak Park has experienced a slight population increase, growing from 51,424 in 2010 to 53,834 in 2022. The median income has also risen, from $98,979 in 2013 to $104,161 in 2022, indicating a generally affluent community.

Racial demographics have remained relatively stable, with a slight decrease in the white population from 65% in 2013 to 60% in 2022. The Black population has decreased slightly from 21% to 19%, while the Hispanic population has increased from 6% to 9%. The Asian population has remained steady at around 5%.

The completion of the Grove Apartments in 2014 aligns with a period of population growth and increasing median income in Oak Park. This suggests that despite the overall affluence of the community, there was a recognized need for affordable housing options to maintain diversity and provide housing for lower-income residents.

Oak Park's LIHTC-funded affordable housing, while modest in scale, represents an effort to provide low-income housing options in an affluent community. The single project, completed in 2014, consists of 51 one-bedroom units, all designated for low-income residents. While the LIHTC-funded housing covers a small percentage of the city's estimated housing stock, it contributes to maintaining economic diversity in a city experiencing population growth and rising median incomes. The demographic trends over the past decade suggest a continuing need for affordable housing options to support a diverse community in Oak Park.
