Senior Housing Stabilized Occupancy Will Soon Mark Tenth Quarter of Positive Growth

By: Omar Zahraoui  |  December 12, 2023

Senior housing stabilized occupancy will soon mark its tenth quarter of positive growth, the longest period of uninterrupted gains since NIC and NIC MAP Vision began reporting the data in 2005. Compared to pre-pandemic times, the year-over-year inventory growth has remained relatively modest, with rates for independent living hovering around 1.0% to 1.7% since October 2021 and for AL since June 2022. This subdued pace is partly due to fewer construction starts and extended durations of project deliveries in recent years. According to intra-quarterly NIC MAP® data released by NIC MAP Vision, the senior housing stabilized occupancy rate for the NIC MAP Primary Markets increased to 86.1% in the November 2023 reporting period, up 0.1 percentage points (pps) from October 2023 and 0.6pps from September 2023, on three-month rolling basis. From its pandemic record low of 80.2% in June 2021, senior housing stabilized occupancy increased by 5.9pps but remained 3.2pps below pre-pandemic March 2020 levels of 89.3%.
