Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the housing and locational preferences and plans for the first 10 years of retirement of two cohorts within the maturing population: the early baby boomers (born 1946–1954) and the Depression cohort (born 1930–1939). The data were collected as part of a telephone survey of Oregon and Utah residents. Chi-square analyses were used to determine whether there are significant differences between the two cohorts (N = 836). Early baby boom cohort respondents were found to be significantly different (p < .01 ) from Depression cohort respondents in terms of propensity to move: only 51% of early baby boomers plan to remain in current housing compared to 67% of Depression cohort respondents.
