Its Local, local, local. Seniors housing market fundamentals are not the same for all markets as local development and demand situations shape conditions. In the first quarter of 2017, pronounced differences in occupancy rates could be seen by both property type and geography. By property type at the national level, there was a 370 basis point difference between majority assisted living and majority independent living occupancy rates (87.2% versus 90.9%)—the largest differential in the two data series since NIC began collecting the data in 2005. By geography, the differences were even wider. For assisted living, occupancy rates ranged from nearly 93% in San Jose to less than 72% in San Antonio. For independent living, the gap between best and worst market was narrower, with Houston ranking lowest at 83% and San Jose maintaining its rank as strongest with a 96% occupancy rate in the first quarter. The balance of this blog post will look at these differences in more depth.
