ALTHOUGH THE POPULATION OF SENRI NEWTOWN WAS QUITE YOUNG IN ITS INCEPTION COMPARED WITH OTHER URBAN AREAS, ITS AGING HAS GENERALLY KEPT A FAST RATE AND IS LIKELY TO ENTER AN AGED SOCIETY SOONER. THE AGING RATE IS MAINLY INFLUENCED BY THE TREND THAT WHILE A GREAT PART OF THE PARENTS IN THE NUCLEAR FAMILIES WHICH MOVED INTO THE NEWTOWN MORE THAN 20 YEARS AGO TEND TO REMAIN, AS TIME GOES ON, THEIR CHILDREN ARE LEAVING THE TOWN TO FORM NEW FAMILIES DUE TO POOR HOUSING CONDITIONS AND OTHER REASONS. INSIDE THE NEWTOWN, THE AGING RATE IS QUITE DIFFERENT IF VIEWED AT A LEVEL OF CERTAIN SMALL SECTIONS AND THAT HAS AN INTIMATE RELATION WITH HOUSING TYPES.
