Projections estimate that by 2030, over 7 million Floridians will be 65 or older, comprising about 26% of the state’s total population. Florida remains a top retirement destination, home to 21% of all Americans aged 65 and older. This significant growth drives demand for age-friendly housing, such as 55+ communities and multifamily properties offering amenities tailored to older adults, supporting both occupancy rates and long-term property stabilization.
