Insights in Seniors Housing & Care
The second quarter 2016 data release marks another milestone for NIC and the NIC MAP® Data Service. With this release, we’re excited to officially launch our coverage of 41 additional metropolitan markets. The Additional Markets expand NIC MAP’s coverage from 99 to a total 140 metropolitan markets. Approximately 71% of U.S. households headed by someone age 75 and older are situated in these 140 markets.
In keeping with NIC’s mission, this expanded market coverage further improves the transparency of the seniors housing and care property market. By monitoring these data over time, investors, developers, and operators of seniors housing properties can determine how fast the seniors housing market’s inventory is expanding, track occupancies and absorption rates, and make informed investment decisions.
NIC MAP’s coverage now includes more than 14,400 seniors housing and care properties and more than 1.8 million units. With the additional markets, NIC MAP’s coverage expands by approximately 600 properties and 72,000 units. The 41 additional metropolitan markets include both:

Select 2Q16 key metrics for the Additional Markets national aggregate include:
Among the Additional Markets, some select market comparisons include:
NIC is excited to offer these additional data points to NIC MAP clients. We anticipate that capital providers, developers, and operators will benefit greatly from this expansion.
