Abstract

This study focuses on the comparison of satisfaction level within different age groups in the core area of Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. Based on the assumption that age of residents influences neighbourhood satisfaction and that this satisfaction is in varying degrees between different age groups, non-parametric test was used to examine the differences. Result showed that age of residents was significantly related to neighbourhood satisfaction. An analysis that focused on the differing age group satisfaction with the neighbourhood showed significant differences. However, the differences were more significant below 20 years age bracket and 61-70 years. KEYWORDS: Neighbouhood satisfaction, housing satisfaction, core area housing, age of residents.
