Senior Housing Demand

Independent / Congregate Living

The results assume a balanced housing market (no extremely high or low rental vacancy rates). Excessive apartment rental vacancy rates (above 10 percent) could reduce the demand shown above because potential residents will have more housing choices at lower prices, while unusually low apartment rental vacancy rates (below 3 percent) restrict choices, raise rents and increase the demand for independent living housing. Also, some of the demand at the higher income levels could be satisfied by entrance fee independent living developments.
