CHAPTER TWO • DEMOGRAPHICS & TRENDS NAPERVILLE PARK DISTRICT INDOOR RECREATION SPACE NEEDS ASSESSMENT
METHODOLOGY Demographic data used for the analysis was obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau and from ESRI, the largest research and development organization dedicated to Geographical Information Systems (GIS). All data was acquired in June 2024 and reflects actual numbers as reported in the 2010 and 2020 Census. ESRI estimates the current population (2024) as well as a five-year projection (2029). PROS utilized straight line linear regression to forecast demographic characteristics for 10- and 15-year projections (2034 and 2039). DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS BOUNDARY The District boundaries in Figure 1 were utilized for the demographic analysis, as well as the local recreational trend analysis.
