Gender distribution of residents in assisted living communities in the U.S. 2022
In 2022, around two-thirds of assisted living residents in the United States were women. It is well-known that women outlive men, and therefore there are more women than men in the elderly population. Yet, the share of female assisted living residents is still higher than in the population, as females account for 63 percent of the U.S. population ages 85 years and above.
