To find wealthy areas not as good for trick or treating?

[Autumnvibes23]

Just light-hearted and just idly wondering...

We usually trick or treat round our area which is a less wealthy neighbourhood in our city. But tonight we went to my Dd's friend's area which is a wealthy neighbourhood. There were much less houses taking part and we walked down long roads with only a handful of houses decorated.

It's absolutely their choice not to take part and I'm not complaining about it. But next year we will invite friend to our area!

Has anyone else found the same?

In America Halloween is so much better people here don't seem to care. Which I don't understand why just another excuse to have fun so why not

Is it possible that the "more wealthy" parts of town generally are owned by older people, who may not be interested in trick or treaters? My mum still lives in the house she and dad bought in 1971 when their kids were aged 11 down to 4; lots of similar families were neighbours. Mum is now a widow aged 90, her next door neighbour (who also bought in '71 and raised a family) is also a widow, in her 80's. We children all went guising back in the day, no longer.

Should add, it was a new build estate in 1971. Lovely quiet area.

Yes, that could be the case, good point.

New build estates are the best in my opinion. More likely to be occupied by younger couples with children and disposable income.

Yes, that makes sense. Our area isn't a new build estate but there are lots of families with young children.
