RESID�NTIAL DEMOGRAPHICS <br />Respondents were asked a series of demographic questions in <br />order to first, establish a community profile, and second, to <br />identify large subgroups within the city which might exhibit <br />different behavior from their peers. The composite also permits <br />comparison of the sample with the actual census statistics on th� <br />community and validation of the sample. This section will <br />discuss the community-at-Iarge, with attention to both the past <br />growth patterns of Roseville, as well as speculations abaut its <br />future. By comparing the curr�nt composition of the city's <br />citizenry with potential future trends, extrapolations about <br />policy demands can be systematically derived. <br />Residential Longevity: <br />Residents were first asked: <br />Approximately how many years have you <br />lived in Roseville? <br />One-third o� the sample reported moving to Roseville during the <br />past five years: <br />LESS THAN TWO YEARS .......................16% <br />THREE TO FIVE YEARS .......................17� <br />SIX TO TEN YEARS ..........................12% <br />ELEVEN - TWENTY YEARS .....................18$ <br />OVER TWENTY YEARS .........................36� <br />Just over one-third, thirty-six percent, had resided in the <br />community for over twenty years. Median longevity was about 13.3 <br />years. Roseville is clearly a mature inner ring suburb, with a <br />large enough in-migration rate to insure a dynamic population <br />equilibrium. <br />It is possible to roughly profile the waves of in-migration <br />6 <br />
