Most residents of Prosperity Residences are elderly, and a large proportion live in households with no fixed income. Getting a new apartment would naturally be a godsend for them, but the part of the cost of rebuilding that they would have to bear themselves, and having to move and pay rent somewhere else while the work was being done, makes it difficult for many of them to summon up enthusiasm for the renewal project.
住戶普遍屬於高齡人口的興隆國宅，收入不固定的家戶比例可觀，換個新家固然好，但過程中自己需要負擔的金額、改建期間搬遷以及租賃房舍的費用，讓許多人對於更新一事難以樂觀。
