Using geoanalytics to invest in Senior Living development

Course Objective

One of the biggest population trends being monitored right now is the “silver tsunami”. This phenomenon highlights an increasingly aging population; the 80+ population growth rate will double by 2030. However, financial markets have proven challenging and have led to a stalling in facility development, which will lead to a projected $275 billion supply gap by 2030. Demographics are key to assessing a potential site location. In this course, we will learn how to perform geoanalytics to present findings to give confidence to all stakeholders that are planning new facilities. This course will use ArcGIS Online, Experience Builder, and Business Analyst and show you how perform a project in a use case involving real estate development, senior living, and site selection.

  • Real-world scenarios

    I like the real-world scenarios. My professors used to do GIS before Web GIS was in existence so our curriculum is out of date. The courses I’ve taken on the Bootcamp GIS platform are so much more useful than my school’s lab exercises which only taught me to digitize a line, generate a buffer, and make a map layout.
