Enrollment Growth Outpacing New Supply in Student Housing

Across the U.S., student housing has become a resilient segment of real estate, supported by steady enrollment growth and limited new development.

• Power 4 [Big Ten, Big 12, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) and Southeastern Conference (SEC)] universities continue to see rising enrollment, driving sustained housing demand on and around campus
• Annual rent growth has averaged about 5% over the past four academic years, reflecting stable occupancy and persistent demand
• New construction has slowed to roughly 3% of existing supply, which is well below historical averages

This growing imbalance highlights how private capital can play an essential role in financing the development of additional high-quality student housing supply.
