Senior living is a burgeoning industry driven by an exploding senior population and demand from an aging demographic with increasing needs for specialized residential requirements. This demand will drive strong growth in the senior living industry over the next several decades. The baby boomers are the largest generation in U.S. history, constituting a sizable demographic wave. With 82.8 million people born between 1946 and 1964, the baby boomers represent over 30% of the U.S. population. There is an estimate of 75 million baby boomers who are on the verge of retirement. For the next twenty years, an average of 10,000 people each day will reach age 65, which has historically been the retirement phase of life (Pew Research: http://pewrsr.ch/T4o2Hs ).
Regional Snapshot: Exploration of Key Trends in the 65+ Age CohortARCResearch
This month's regional snapshot explores key trends among the 65+ age cohort in the 10-county Atlanta region. This snapshot is a compressed version of a longer product giving an overview of Aging demographics, as well as of issues impacting seniors in our region. This forthcoming product will also highlight activities and programs of the Atlanta Regional Commission's Aging & Health Resources group that address the aging population’s needs and challenges.
This 2014 State of the Region report explores at a host of information to tell a data-driven story about metro Atlanta. Naturally, we look at the "hard" data such as demographic and socioeconomic data, and while these data tell a compelling story, they tell an incomplete story. For the second consecutive year, ARC and our community partners have conducted the Metro Atlanta Speaks survey to glean residents’ preferences for a number of policy options and their assessments of overall quality of life in the Atlanta area.
The Graying Job Market in the Atlanta Region & The Economic Impact This PortendsARCResearch
Not only is the population growing older, so is the workforce. This simple fact has vast ramifications for the region as the 65 and older age cohort is increasing its economic strength by staying in the workforce longer and earning more while doing it.
Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 128,000 jobs in October. Job growth has averaged 167,000 per month thus far in 2019, compared with an average monthly gain of 223,000 in 2018. Employment declined in motor vehicles and parts manufacturing due to strike activity. Federal government employment was also down, reflecting a drop in the number of temporary jobs for the 2020 Census.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Jobs and Job Loss
Between 2010 and 2019, the Atlanta
MSA saw a steady increase in jobs but
remained No. 9 in number of jobs
among the country's 100 most
populous MSAs. In 2020, though we
lost nearly 160,000 jobs – a 5.5
percent decline – our rank
actually improved and moved to #7.
This shows that, while we have been
hit hard by the current economic
downturn, the effect hasn't been as
bad as it has been in some of our peer
metros.

Home Sale Price
Median Sales Price and Nationwide Rank, Atlanta MSA
In line with national trends, the cost of
housing in our MSA spiked coming out of
the Great Recession. The chart to the left
shows growthfrom 2015 to 2019.
While the pandemic has had a huge effect
on the economy, nationwide findings
indicate little effect on the housing market.
In fact, prices have continued to increase,
particularly at the higher end, driven by
scarce supply.
This is holding true in Atlanta. In the second
quarter of 2019, our median sales price was
$239,700; in the second quarter of 2020, it
was $250,500. That increase of 4.5 percent
put us at #60 of the 100 largest metros.

# Total Population, July 1, 2019

Our population of 6,020,364 in 2019 put
us at position #9 in the country's metros.
That's an increase of 717,766 residents
since 2010, the fourth greatest among
the 100 metros. So we are growing
faster than our population base.
Ahead of us in growth between 2010
and 2019 is the Dallas MSA, at #1 with
1,181,071 new residents. Position #2
goes to Houston with 1,118,905 new
residents, and third place goes to the
Phoenix MSA, which saw an additional

Building Permits, 2018 & 2019
In 2018, Atlanta was #4 in residential
building permits among the 100
metros. In 2019, we fell one spot to
#5.
The hit may have come from a shift in
residential market demand. In 2018, we
had 12,750 multifamily building permits
filed – the 8th highest nationwide. In
2019, that number fell by nearly half, to
6,418 – #22 nationwide.
By comparison, single-family building
permits remained fairly even, with
26,691 filed in 2018 and 26,418 filed in
2019.

Rankings for housing units follow a
predictable pattern: The more populous the
city, the higher its ranking in quantity of
housing. What doesn’t follow a clean
pattern is cost-burdened residents, defined
as those spending 30 percent or more of
their income on housing.
Here, we can see that in the Atlanta MSA,
19.4 percent of homeowners are cost-
burdened, whereas half of all renters are.
Within the country’s most populous metros,
we rank #56 for share of cost-burdened
owners and # 39 for share of cost-burdened
renters.

(#90 among
100 metros)
When it comes to health insurance, the
Atlanta MSA sees some troubling rankings.
While an insured rate of 87.1 percent may
sound pretty good, this actually puts us at
#90 of 100 metros – in other words, we
have the 10th highest rate of uninsured
residents.
In looking at children age 18 and younger,
we don’t fare much better: With 92.4
percent of our children insured, we’re # 86
of 100 metros – we have the 13th highest
rate of uninsured children.
16. Comparisons
One of the most powerful aspects of the dashboard is its
comparisons feature, which makes it simple to quickly see how
the Atlanta MSA performs on critical indicators in relationship to
other top 100 metros. The next section takes a look at how we
stack up against our peer metros as defined in ARC’s Catlyst
Economic Strategy.
17. In looking at the Charlotte (NC)
MSA, one of the differences that
pops out is the paradox of
income and earnings. The Atlanta
MSA’s median annual household
income is $71,724 and
Charlotte’s is lower, at $66,399.
When we look at average hourly
earnings, however, we see that
Charlotte’s are higher, at $35.20,
whereas Atlanta’s are $30.
18. They say everything’s bigger
in Texas ... except when we
compare Dallas’ mean travel
time to work to Atlanta’s. In
Dallas, residents are, on
average, looking at about 29
minutes on the road to work,
whereas Atlantans are
looking at 33.
Another thing worth noting?
The uninsured population
rate in Dallas is slightly higher
than in Atlanta, putting Dallas
at #3 highest in the 100 most
populous metros for the
share uninsured.
19. In Houston, we can see
similarities to the comparisons
made with the first two peer
metros – the paradox of
median income and average
hourly earnings, as well as the
difference in uninsured rates
(Houston is #2 for uninsured).
Another noteworthy
difference? Houston’s high
birth rate compared to ours,
at 55 births per 1,000 women,
putting it at #19 for this
indicator. Our 50 per 1,000
sets us at position #41.
20. We see similar differences in
Nashville as with our other
peer metros, but with one
large exception: It has a much
higher share of population
with health insurance than
Atlanta or either Texas city.
With 90.7 percent of its
population insured, Nashville
enjoys a much better rank –
#61 – among the country’s
most populous 100 metros.
21. The D.C. metro has higher median
household income and higher
average hourly earnings than
Atlanta. Its household size is
similar, though its birth rate is
lower. Here, we also see another
big difference in health insurance
– with 92.5 percent of its
population insured, the D.C. MSA
sits at #41 for its rate of insured.
Something else that caught our
eye? This is the only peer metro
where we see a notably lower
GINI Index of Income Inequality
score, meaning D.C. has less
income inequality than Atlanta.
