MARKET STUDY SUMMARY<br />
As part <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Orange</strong> <strong>Avenue</strong> <strong>Corridor</strong><br />
<strong>Specific</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> effort (formerly called<br />
Downtown <strong>Specific</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>), a Market Study<br />
with a demographic overview and evaluation<br />
<strong>of</strong> current conditions for commercial,<br />
residential, and hotel land uses<br />
within and around the <strong>Specific</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> area<br />
was prepared by Keyser Marston Associates<br />
(June 2002.) <strong>The</strong> reader is encouraged<br />
to read the entire Market Demand<br />

is a summary <strong>of</strong> the Market Demand<br />
Study.<br />
MARKET OVERVIEW<br />
Introduction<br />
This section identifies <strong>Coronado</strong>’s demographic<br />
trends; provides an overview <strong>of</strong><br />
market conditions for retail, residential,<br />
<strong>of</strong>fice, and lodging; and includes KMA’s<br />
key observations on real estate market<br />
conditions; the <strong>City</strong>’s assets and constraints;<br />
and main factors affecting various<br />
land uses. <strong>The</strong> conclusions were<br />
reached through a process <strong>of</strong> interaction<br />
with stakeholders, <strong>City</strong> staff, and Navy<br />
service providers as well as through<br />
research and analysis <strong>of</strong> market conditions<br />
and economic trends.<br />
Demographic Overview<br />
<strong>Coronado</strong> has approximately 24,500 residents<br />
-- one-third are military personnel<br />
(8,100 persons) and two-thirds are civilians<br />
(16,400 persons.) <strong>Coronado</strong>’s overall<br />
demographic characteristics reflect an<br />
affluent non-ethnic community with high<br />
proportions <strong>of</strong> seniors/retirees and youthful<br />
military personnel. <strong>The</strong> following bullet<br />
points summarize demographic<br />
characteristics <strong>of</strong> <strong>Coronado</strong>’s combined<br />

military and civilian population, unless<br />
otherwise indicated.<br />
Population and Income<br />
• Population growth declined slightly<br />
between 1990 and 2002 (-0.61%).<br />
• Over the next five years, population<br />
growth is expected to be relatively<br />
static (0.76% annually), adding about<br />
950 persons by 2007.<br />
• Household incomes are strong --<br />
approximately 69% <strong>of</strong> households<br />
have yearly incomes more than<br />
$50,000 and roughly 51% have<br />
incomes more than $75,000.<br />
• Per capita income (PCI) in 2002 was<br />
estimated at approximately $40,000,<br />
which is much higher than <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> San<br />
Diego ($27,500) or the County<br />
($26,400).<br />
• <strong>Coronado</strong>’s median household<br />
income in <strong>Coronado</strong> ($76,900) far<br />
outpaces the <strong>City</strong> ($54,833) and<br />
County ($56,039.)<br />
• If looking only at civilian census<br />
tracts, <strong>Coronado</strong>’s PCI rises by more<br />
than $11,000 to approximately<br />
$51,300, equating to an annual<br />
spending potential <strong>of</strong> $842 million.<br />
Median household income increases<br />
to nearly $81,000.<br />
Age<br />
<strong>Coronado</strong> is a mature community with<br />
many Seniors, and for the most part,<br />
<strong>Coronado</strong>’s age distribution is similar to<br />
age distributions in the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> San Diego<br />
and the County <strong>of</strong> San Diego. Notable<br />
exceptions include:<br />
• <strong>Coronado</strong> has a lesser share <strong>of</strong> residents<br />
in the Under 20 Years age<br />
group, 20.5%, as compared with the<br />
<strong>City</strong> and County <strong>of</strong> San Diego at<br />
27.3% and 28.7%, respectively.<br />
