What the state file can and cannot tell you
Supply counts exist only for the 13 states that publish a downloadable list with each facility's capacity. Elsewhere those columns are blank and the CDC estimate is the only count. The lists don't define assisted living the same way: Pennsylvania's covers personal care homes, California's covers every licensed RCFE including six-bed homes, and some states count units instead of beds (capacity_unit says which). Each state's list keeps its own date in list_as_of. Compare a state with itself over time before comparing it with its neighbor.
The CDC columns are the 2020 NPALS state estimates, the newest wave with state rows; CDC rounds them. The licensing columns were checked by hand against each agency's site on October 24, 2026, and anything we couldn't confirm there is left out. The methodology has the parsing rules for each state list.
There is no facility-by-facility file here. The site keeps the totals from each state list, not the facility rows, and the 13 lists identify facilities in 13 different formats.
