Public housing is significantly underrepresentedin the West (region 4) and over-represented in the Northeast (region 1)which is a product <strong>of</strong> the program’s history and changes in regional growth patternssince construction <strong>of</strong> these units. <strong>The</strong> LIHTC is under-represented in the Northeast(region 1) and over-represented in the South (region 3). It is also possible that theLIHTC with its focus on new construction would be high in the South and lower in thebuilt-up Northeast, but this would not explain the somewhat higher use <strong>of</strong> the LIHTCin the Midwest (region 2). <strong>Subsidized</strong> units by region are presented in Table 4.4.TABLE 4.4<strong>Subsidized</strong> Units by Region 2000RegionTotal<strong>Subsidized</strong> Units %Public<strong>Housing</strong> %Other<strong>Subsidized</strong> % LIHTC % Vouchers %1 Northeast 1,086,897 27.0 316,556 36.3 370,744 29.6 102,745 14.3 295,250 25.02 Midwest 895,945 22.2 164,326 18.8 328,781 26.2 180,550 25.2 222,309 18.83 South 1,294,261 32.1 302,242 34.6 355,246 28.3 280,253 39.1 356,520 30.14 West 751,439 18.7 89,686 10.3 199,830 15.9 153,367 21.4 308,478 26.1Total 4,026,883 100.0 872,810 100.0 1,254,601 100.0 716,915 100.0 1,182,557 100.061
