Best In 55+ Real Estate™
2026-11-09
What does it mean when 55% of a ZIP code’s residents are 65+?
This is the highest share of residents aged 65 and over in Texas, according to ALEX Intelligence’s 2026 data analysis of U.S. Census Bureau 5-Year Estimates. The implications are not about marketing to retirees — they are about designing for a community that already is one. As the Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA) continues to shape community design, this data reveals a mature market where accessibility, equity release, and social connectivity are not future goals — they are current conditions. The question is no longer 'Can we attract retirees?' but 'How do we serve a community that already is one?' This is the future of 55+ real estate: not a trend, but a transformation.
