The follow<strong>in</strong>g exhibit illustrates the population density of the 25-mile radius <strong>and</strong> 50-mile radius<br />

markets <strong>and</strong> beyond for the proposed new <strong>in</strong>door event facility.<br />

As shown, Kootenai County <strong>and</strong> the 25-mile radius market for the proposed <strong>in</strong>door event facility<br />

encompass a moderately dense population base. The 50-mile radius market area <strong>in</strong>cludes more<br />

densely populated areas to the west, but relatively sparsely populated areas to the east <strong>and</strong> south.<br />

Although certa<strong>in</strong> areas with<strong>in</strong> the secondary market are less densely populated, the Kootenai <strong>and</strong><br />

Spokane County populations could provide a significant base of spectators <strong>and</strong> participants for<br />

potential events at a new event facility <strong>in</strong> <strong>Coeur</strong> d’Alene.<br />

Another demographic characteristic important to the overall viability of an event venue is the age<br />

of the local population. Trends related to sports participation <strong>and</strong> the types of spectator events<br />

that are likely to be supported <strong>in</strong> a given market can vary greatly <strong>by</strong> age group. As a result, the<br />

age distribution of the local populace will impact the type <strong>and</strong> amount of utilization at a new<br />

<strong>in</strong>door event facility. The table below presents key age-related demographic characteristics for<br />

Kootenai County as compared to the United States average.<br />
