Doubt there is one size fits all answer. Some will continue to slowly spiral down, eventually becoming essentially low income, trashy, trailer parks. Some parks will become pro-active about appearances and enforce rules to force the owners to either update and upgrade their units or move them out. Others will reinvent themselves into something else.
I bet a lot of it is as an individual, you only see the small segment of the market that you are in. An older park with older units and older population tends not to draw in the younger retirees.
All the talk about experiences vs activities sounds like marketing to me. Reality is when considering the larger market, a new retiree not wedded to a particular park will select a park with younger retirees.
They are still retiring in mass numbers and a large enough percentage have the money. There is no sign of the Arizona winter population collapsing.
