The Silver Tsunami: Are We Prepared for a Senior Housing Population Boom in Rural America

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. This a geographic distribution of the median age by county in 2010. in this map all counties with a media age above the national median are shaded in blue and the medium shade of blue indicates a median age of 40 or higher which is the rural rate and the darker blue areas have a media age of 45 or higher.
  2. Not only are median ages higher, but seniors make up a larger percentage of the population in rural areas. There are more than 40 million people over the age of 65 in the United States. In rural and small town areas there are more than 10 million seniors. Persons over the age of 65 comprise approximately 16 percent of rural and small town population, nearly 3 percentage points above the national rate.
  3. To give another perspective, approximately one fifth of the U.S. population live in rural and small town areas, but over one quarter of the nation’s .seniors reside in rural communities.
  4. Again this is a geographic representation of the senior population by county. Blue counties are those with a rate of seniors higher than the national rate. The darkest blue counties are those with more than 20 percent of their population age 65 and over. You’ll again notice some regional clusters or patterns among the concentration of seniors especially in the Midwestern plains states and in portions of The Appalachians and Florida. Another way to think about this is that for these counties in blue it already 2050. In this respect rural America serves as a harbinger of things to come for the entire nation
  5. Manufactured homes are an important source of housing for millions of Americans, especially those with lower incomes and in rural areas. There are approximately 7 million occupied manufactured homes in the U.S., comprising about 7 percent of the nation’s housing stock. More than half of all manufactured homes are located in rural areas around the country. Also, more than half of all manufactured homes are located in Southeastern states. Manufactured homes are less prevalent among rural households over the age of 65 than among rural seniors. This may be largely attributable to the fact that mobile homes are a relatively recent housing option that arose after many current seniors were in the purchasing stage of their housing life cycle. Nevertheless, the proportion of rural senior households residing in mobile homes is double that of their suburban and urban counterparts, and over half of all rural seniors in mobile homes live in the South.The proportion of rural seniors living in mobile homes is likely to increase in the coming decades, as rural baby boomers currently occupy a large portion of the nation’s manufactured homes in rural areas. In fact, this may be a large and unforeseen issues that will develop in the coming decades. There is disagreement on the lifespan of manufactured homes, but many baby boomers are now living in older manufactured homes that they may have purchased in the 1970s and 80s and are nearing the end of their usefulness. With reduced investment value, poor accessibility standards and difficulty in repair and rehabilitating older manufactured homes may leave many rural seniors with few options as they age in this type of housing.
  6. Land-lease manufactured home communities, often referred to as “mobile home” or “trailer” parks, are home to over 2.3 million households nationally. Contrary to popular perception, most manufactured homes are not located in park or community settings. Still, the Housing Assistance Council estimates that there are more than 50,000 manufactured home communities in the United States. Households who reside in park settings have lower incomes and are more likely to be elderly than their counterparts in scattered site manufactured homes. In fact a number of these communities are restricted to older residents In manufactured home communities, usually one individual or entity owns the land, while residents own their homes and rent the land on which their homes sit. In this land tenure arrangement, residents are frequently both owners and renters, and are often caught in a “gray area” of legal protection and recourse. Several states and jurisdictions have enacted special protections for residents of manufactured housing communities, but these vary widely. According to a recent analysis by AARP, at least 15 states have no manufactured home park statutes at all. AARP. Manufactured Housing Community Tenants: Shifting the Balance of Power.
