How Much Senior Housing and Care Inventory Exists in the U.S.?

By: Anne Standish and Beth Mace  |  June 15, 2022

Introduction. An inquiry the NIC Analytics team frequently receives is “How much senior housing inventory exists in the United States?” To answer this question, the NIC Analytics team has historically generated estimates of the United States’ national supply of senior housing and nursing care and published those estimates in the biennial editions of the NIC Investment Guide. Now, however, industry stakeholders no longer need to wait for new releases of the NIC Investment Guide for national supply estimates because NIC MAP Vision, an affiliate of NIC, offers subscribers quarterly supply estimates for the entire U.S. (with more detailed data dependent upon subscription level).
