Correction: 2013 Oregon LIHTC NOFA Selections: 43% Of All Units Are in High Poverty Rate Census Tracts: Only 18% Are in CT With Low Poverty Rates.

OHCS staff pointed out an error in the attached spreadsheet. I have corrected that and changed the text in the headline and below accordingly to reflect a lower percentage of units in High Poverty CT's in the 2013 cycle (but that is the same percentage as units placed in service from 2000-2010). 

I regret the error and appreciate the timely feedback from OHCS.

The Excel worksheet HERE and embedded below has the details.  

Readers may recall my prior August 2012 analysis HERE of Oregon LIHTC project poverty rate data for projects placed in service from 2001 to 2010. Two related observations:

  1. Projects selected in the 2013 NOFA had the SAME higher rates of location in HIGH poverty rate census tracts than did projects placed in service from 2001 to 2010. (43% ).  
  2. Projects selected in the 2013 NOFA also had higher rates of location in LOW poverty rate census tracts than did projects placed in service from 2001 to 2010. (18% vs 13%).
