FACILITY TYPE IMPORTANCE AND WILLINGNESS TO PAY: BY AGE AND YEARS LIVED IN NAPERVILLE
FACILITY TYPE IMPORTANCE FACILITY TYPE IMPORTANCE: BY AGE GROUP
Age group differences were examined for importance ratings of facility types (Table 4a) . Results indicated that respondents less than 39 years old and ages 40-59 years old both rated a “multi-purpose activity center with indoor pool” as very important more than the other age groups (71% and 73%, respectively). The 75 and over age group also rated “multi-purpose activity center with indoor pool” fairly high, with 60% rating this facility as very important. The 60-75 age group was more evenly split, with 40% rating “multi-purpose activity center with indoor pool” as somewhat important. Compared to “multi-purpose activity center with indoor pool,” fewer respondents across all age groups rated a “multi-purpose activity center (no pool)” as very important. Over a third of both 60-75 and 75 and over age groups rated this type of facility as not important. Regarding a multi-purpose activity center with synthetic turf, respondents ages 40-59 rated this type of facility most evenly across importance ratings, indicating that respondents ages 40-59 deem an activity center with synthetic turf as more important to them and members of their household compared to the other three age groups.
