Pensioners want it close to where they live

Pensioners want it close to where they live

We all have our preferences when it comes to where we choose to live. Some may feel that it is important to have good connections in local transport, while others may think that it is important to live close to school and work.

In a new survey, carried out by Novus, they looked at what different age groups prioritize when it comes to what is most important to have close to where you live. And when it comes to the senior age group, 65-79 year olds, there are several favorites that you would like to have close to your home.

It turns out that those who are approaching retirement, or have already started it, have some priorities that stand out compared to the younger age groups in the survey.

Top list: The elderly prefer to live close to it

  • Close to grocery stores: 72 percent
  • Close to nature and green areas: 70 percent
  • Close to health centre/dentist/BVC: 52 percent
  • Good connections with public transport: 46 percent
  • Close to water: 37 percent
  • Access to an attractive city centre/centre: 33 percent
  • Opportunity for good shopping: 27 percent
  • It differs slightly from one of the younger age groups, 30-49 year olds. Instead, they prioritize being close to their workplaces and shops, but also value having good connections in local traffic as well as being close to school and preschool where they live.

    The survey has been carried out by Novus on behalf of White Arkitekter. It is statistically secure and has 3,390 respondents between 18–79 years of age.
