Despite the population growth and rising median income, no new LIHTC projects have been developed in zip code 61001 in the last decade. This could suggest that the existing affordable housing stock is meeting current needs, or that other factors are influencing affordable housing development decisions in the area.

Zip code 61001 has a small but established affordable housing inventory funded through the LIHTC program. The two projects, developed in the early 1990s, provide 24 low-income units, primarily consisting of one-bedroom apartments. While this represents a small portion of the estimated housing inventory, it has remained stable for nearly three decades. The area has experienced population growth and increasing median incomes over the past decade, but this has not led to additional LIHTC-funded affordable housing development. The racial composition of the area has remained predominantly white, with slight increases in diversity in recent years.
