About this data

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

  • Adults 65+ is the Census Bureau’s 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimate for Providence (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.10
  • Units is the figure on the public record; 38 of 38 senior apartment properties report it.
  • Distances are straight-line miles from the center of Providence (U.S. Census Bureau place center). “Nearby” means within 25 miles and can include other states.
  • Agency contacts come from each program’s own directory and are checked when we rebuild the data. WeFoundCare does not rate or rank communities.
