Inside this quarter’s Senior Living Market Snapshot

This quarter, we offer data from the primary metropolitan statistical areas in the Midwest (defined as the “East North Central” region), encompassing markets across Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Ohio:

Akron, OH | Ann Arbor, MI | Chicago, IL | Cincinnati, OH | Cleveland, OH | Columbus, OH | Dayton, OH | Detroit, MI | Flint, MI | Grand Rapids, MI | Indianapolis, IN | Janesville, WI | Lansing, MI | Madison, WI | Milwaukee, WI | Monroe, MI | Racine, WI | Rockford, IL | Saginaw, MI | Toledo, OH | Youngstown, OH

Highlights from the Q4 2023 report:

  • Construction material prices remain elevated, and coupled with higher interest rates, are leading to more expensive projects.
  • Moderate to negative inventory growth is likely helping keep the East North Central Region in line with demand, with occupancies steadily increasing.
  • While the East North Central Region is currently behind the national averages for occupancy in both independent living and assisted living, it has recovered to surpass its pandemic low and hit an all-time high in occupied units.
