In Japan, the similar age group has generally occupied the large proportion of residents in a housing estate. Therefore, the lifestyle must change completely as time has passed. On the other hand, the major life stage should be different according to the developing time. In this paper, the relationship between the lifecycle of estate and the major life stage of residents was analyzed by using the questionnaire data. As a result, it must be clear that there is a great difference in major life stage according to the developing time of each estate, although there is not a much difference of life cycle of residents. Furthermore, a model to predict the change of life stage as time has passed was proposed based on some major result. Finally, it was concluded that the resident's characteristics predicted by this model might be useful to deal with the trip demands in future.
