🏆 24.4% Share Aged 65+ in Highlands — Ranked #1 in Houston MSA — ALEX Intelligence, 2026.
Highlands isn’t just the oldest city in the Houston MSA—it’s a bellwether. With 24.4% of its population aged 65+, it’s leading a quiet but powerful shift in real estate demand: away from new construction and toward age-in-place living. This isn’t a forecast—it’s a present reality.
The data comes from ALEX Intelligence’s latest report: https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-10-01-houston-msa-senior-share-place-mkt
What does this mean for Houston’s housing future? The answer lies not in square footage, but in serviceability. The next wave of value won’t be in new builds—it’ll be in accessibility, healthcare proximity, and smart home tech for seniors.
Is your portfolio prepared for a market where 'aging in place' is the new growth engine?
