Level 3 Analysis. Identification of the consumer preferences and lifestyle priorities of the two <br />consumer segments offering the greatest potential for downtown sales growth (i.e., traditional <br />central Santa Ana homeowners and rental tenants). This aspect of the study was undertaken to inform <br />the preparation of specific Wellness Goods and Services projects for the primary resident demographics <br />of central Santa Ana. The segments that were the focus of the qualitative research account for the <br />majority of downtown Santa Ana retail purchases under all three of the considered scenarios. The <br />qualitative research method used was in -depth interviews. Day -in- the -life accounts were documented <br />for each of 40 central Santa Ana residents, including homeowners and rental tenants, as well as senior <br />citizens, younger and older adults, and youth. This data was entered into a tool developed by The Next <br />Practice (TNP) to identify lifestyle and shopping patterns and preferences. <br />On the basis of the above three levels of market research, the SABHC convened a series of workshops <br />to design some initial Wellness District project concepts. The concepts developed in these workshops are <br />summarized in Appendix B. The findings of the research may also be useful for other retail and services <br />development strategies for the downtown area, including by downtown business associations. <br />TABLE 1.
