Demographics and Trends Conducting an analysis of demographics and trends provided the Park District with important insight into the general makeup of the population served and helped identify market trends in recreation. Here are some highlights of that analysis: • With a still-growing population, the District will need to strategically invest, develop, and maintain programs and facilities in relation to current and future residential growth • Naperville’s aging population indicates a need for the District to refocus on opportunities for the 55+ ages population • Program offerings need to reflect an increasingly diverse population, supported by communications and public outreach; as such, the District will need to evaluate and consider shifting its program offerings over time
Naperville’s 55+ population is expected to grow to represent just over a third (37%) of the total population and will become increasingly diverse over the next 15 years.
In 2024, the population of White Alone residents is estimated to be about 62%, similar to the national average (60%). The second highest percentage is Asian Alone residents at 23% - higher than the national average (6%). White Alone is expected to decrease 14% over the next 15 years.
