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.
