1.
Senior Sun Seekers
Escaping from cold winter climates, many Senior Sun Seekers
have relocated permanently to warmer regions, and others are
snowbirds that move south only for the winter. Most are retired
or anticipate retirement. The median age of the population
in this market is 51.5 years, but over 60 percent of the householders
are 55 years or older. The areas favored by the seniors are
growth markets, especially in Florida, with available seasonal
housing. Most of the housing is either single-family or mobile
homes, with a median home value of $91,500.
2. Retirement Communities
Congregate housing, which commonly includes meals and other
services with rent, is concentrated in this market. Although
retirement communities can also offer owner-occupied housing
and nursing care facilities, most are characterized by congregate
housing. Denizens of Retirement Communities include well-educated
retirees, almost a third aged 65 years or older, scattered
throughout the U.S., but mainly city dwellers. Median household
income is $44,400, but median net worth is over $175,000.
3. Prosperous Empty Nesters
Over half of the householders are aged 55 years or older,
and most households are married-couples with no children living
at home. Well educated and experienced, Prosperous Empty Nesters
are enjoying the segue from child rearing to retirement. A
median income over $64,000 supports a lifestyle that focuses
on the present, with travel and home renovation, and the future,
through investments.
