Apex aging-in-place planning
Useful local context without pretending every home—or every family—needs the same solution.
Homes & households
Planning for the home itself
The U.S. Census Bureau estimates Apex at 80,419 residents in 2025, up 24.9% from the 2020 estimates base. About 76.5% of occupied housing units are owner-occupied, and the median value of owner-occupied housing units was $576,100 for 2020–2024. That combination of rapid growth and high homeownership makes proactive home-safety planning relevant for families who expect to stay in their homes for years.
Older-adult resources
Aging in place is bigger than home modifications
About 9.5% of Apex residents are age 65 or older in current Census QuickFacts. Apex also has a dedicated Senior Center and seasonal 55+ program guides. GoApex Route 1 is free to the public, and since April 2026 eligible ADA paratransit riders in Apex use GoCary Door to Door Tier-1 service. Resources for Seniors also maintains a presence at the Apex Senior Center and connects Wake County older adults and caregivers with aging-related services.
