First-quarter data showed continued downward pressure on occupancy rates, with assisted living occupancy falling to its lowest level since NIC began reporting data in 2006—85.7%. A broader measure, the occupancy rate for all of seniors housing (independent and assisted living) for the 99 Primary and Secondary markets tracked by the NIC MAP® Data Service, had a first quarter occupancy rate of 88.1%, not the lowest on record, but a nadir since mid-2011 and down from 90.0% as recently as Q4 2015. During the nine quarters since then, inventory growth has exceeded demand by 23,000 units (70,000 units of inventory growth versus 47,000 units of net absorption).
