Impairment of desirability or useful life arising from factors external to the property, such as economic forces or environmental changes which affect supply-demand relationships in the market. The term "economic obsolescence" is most widely and traditionally used, but it is something of a misnomer. All elements of accrued depreciation are "economic" in their impact on utility and value. "Locational obsolescence" is preferred terminology because it is descriptive of the condition that leads to a charge for accrued depreciation or diminished utility. This type of obsolescence is generally classified as incurable due to the immobility of property.  2, record 3, English, - economic%20obsolescence
