Age Relates Positively to Community Satisfaction: Some Explanations and Implications.
van Es, J. C.; Schneider, Judy B.
Journal of the Community Development Society, v14 n1 p31-38 1983
This article presents a case in which age was isolated as a highly significant factor affecting reported community satisfaction. Authors explain the findings as the result of four factors: (1) selective migration, (2) influence of length of residence, (3) acceptance of one's surroundings as one ages, and (4) rising expectations among the younger generation.
