How the figures on this page are built. Each number links to its source below.

  • Listings come from Michigan LARA (Adult Foster Care and Homes for the Aged), Oct 17, 2026.1 A listing appears under the city on its license or certification address.
  • Adults 65+ is the Census Bureau’s 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimate for Mason (Census place). Census boundaries can differ from the mailing-address city used for listings, so per-1,000 figures are a guide, not a precise rate.11

  • Distances are straight-line miles from the center of Mason (U.S. Census Bureau place center). “Nearby” means within 25 miles and can include other states.
