One challenge facing the Park District may be smaller and older families moving to Oak Park. Demographic changes in Oak Park could be impacting our numbers. The percent of infants in Oak Park has declined from 6.5% in the 2010 Census to an estimate of 5.7% in 2019. In turn the senior population in Oak Park has
increased from 10.6% in the 2010 Census to approximately 14.5% in 2019 (American Community Survey 5 Year Estimates). The new Census will provide updated demographic data in 2020.

How have we addressed this?
Black Friday Sale, new resident engagement strategies, Parks and Conversations parks surveys
