Factors influencing preretirees' community preferences for retirement were determined using datafrom a Western Region Agricultural Experiment Station survey conducted in three western states: Idaho, Oregon, and Utah. Resultsfrom general linear multiple regressions revealed that age, family income, health status of spouse, spousal and children's influence on retirement income, number of years in community, and suitability of home size influenced the likelihood of moving away during retirement. Preference for present community during retirement was affected by age, gender, sources of retirement income, spousal and children's influence, number of years in community, and suitability of home size. Neighborhood preferencefor thefirst 10 years of retirement differed by age, sources of retirement income, status of respondent and spouse's health, and spousal influence on retirement decisions. Gender, marital status, health status of spouse, spousal influence on retirement decisions, and number ofyears in community influenced the neighborhood preference after 10 years of retirement.
