Demand Drivers Through 2036

Population, aging, use rate, and visit intensity compound into annual home health demand.
Senior age cohorts expose where future home health utilization rises because the population is moving into higher-use ages.
MedPAC anchors define the broad utilization truth. The model fits the five-year cohort curve and translates use into annual visit demand.
Use geography, sort metric, and order controls to surface markets where demand growth, age pressure, visit volume, and payer mix create the strongest planning signal.
Current CMS-certified home health supply is held constant so the map shows where aging-driven visit demand creates the largest agency workload pressure.
The model projects Medicare membership, applies age-payer utilization, calibrates to MedPAC home health anchors, and rolls demand up to county, MSA, state, and national views.
