Tampa and Baltimore have the next highest older adult housing occupancy rates, with both at 88.8%.

The city with the lowest occupancy rate is Houston at 80.9%, followed by Las Vegas (81.1%) and Miami (82.6%).

While the number of occupied older adult housing units grew 4.4% in the second quarter of 2024 compared with the first quarter of 2023, inventory grew 1.5% for the same period of time.

“Access to capital, cost of capital, and construction costs remain significant headwinds to senior housing development,” the NIC said in the release.
