Homes & households
Planning for the home itself
Raleigh had an estimated population of 506,306 in 2025. Census QuickFacts report a 50.7% owner-occupied housing rate and a median owner-occupied home value of $415,800 for 2020–2024. The city’s scale and varied housing stock mean there is no single aging-in-place solution that fits every Raleigh home.

Raleigh Parks operates an Active Adult Program with multiple centers for adults 50+, while GoRaleigh Access provides ADA paratransit for eligible riders.
