The NIC MAP Vision Actual Rates Data Initiative is driven by the need to increase transparency in the senior housing sector and achieve greater parity to data that is available in other real estate property types. Providing accurate data on the monthly rates that senior housing residents are specifically paying compared to properties’ asking rates helps the sector achieve this goal.

What is Included in Actual Rates data?

• In-place rates, move-in rates, and asking rates for residents of senior living and retirement communities
• Leasing activity, as measured by monthly move-in and move-out velocities

Reported Senior Housing Markets are Based on Participation:
