What type of analysis allows managers to monitor trends in user demographics?

Demographic analysis is specifically designed to assess and monitor trends related to the characteristics of a population or user base. This includes factors such as age, gender, income level, ethnicity, and other attributes that define user segments. By conducting demographic analysis, managers can gain valuable insights into who their users are, how their needs may be changing, and which segments may need more targeted services or facilities. This type of analysis plays a crucial role in program development, marketing strategies, and resource allocation, allowing recreation facility managers to make informed decisions that align with the preferences and behaviors of their users.

Financial analysis primarily focuses on the economic aspects of a facility, such as profit margins and budgeting, which do not directly address user demographics. Performance analysis typically evaluates the success or effectiveness of programs and services rather than the characteristics of users themselves. Feedback analysis involves gathering and interpreting user opinions and experiences, which can inform improvements but doesn’t specifically track demographic trends. Therefore, demographic analysis is the most suitable and effective method for monitoring user demographics.
