Where is LIHTC housing being developed in L.A. County?

Qualified Census Tracts in central Los Angeles County
About 44% of the county’s LIHTC units are in QCTs

Next steps
• Create an index based on smart location criteria;
• Add data for public housing and voucher holders;
• Analyze walkshed based on a pedestrian network; and
• Use the index to analyze the locations of LIHTC, public housing, and voucher units.
