Minorities account for 73 percent of the Region’s population 60+, but only 67 percent of those 75+. This discrepancy is the result of a White, non-Hispanic population that is represented in higher numbers in the older age categories – particularly in Detroit. The table also shows the wide variation in the racial makeup of the Region’s seniors across communities. Detroit and Highland Park provide the bulk of minority seniors, with Hamtramck coming in a distant third. Table 12. Region 1-A’s Minority Population 60+ Population by Community, 2000 Total Population Percent Minority 60+ 65+ 75+ 60+ 65+ 75+ Region 1-A Total 147,806 114,807 54,422 73.0 71.5 66.9 Detroit city 128,400 99,056 46,193 81.0 79.8 75.8 Grosse Pointe city 1,156 889 477 1.8 1.5 0.8 Grosse Pointe Farms city 2,194 1,749 810 1.2 0.9 0.9 Grosse Pointe Park city 1,790 1,345 623 5.3 4.5 3.7 Grosse Pointe Shores 847 660 279 4.4 3.0 1.4 Grosse Pointe Woods city 3,804 3,108 1,568 2.3 2.0 0.9 Hamtramck city 3,375 2,734 1,604 22.2 20.8 18.7 Harper Woods city 3,218 2,831 1,750 4.1 3.3 2.3 Highland Park city 3,022 2,435 1,118 92.0 91.0 88.6 6 The definition of minority in this discussion is slightly different than that used in the previous discussion. Here we are excluding White, non-Hispanics from the total population. The overall share is slightly higher than that shown in Table 4 (73.0 vs. 72.1 percent) due to the fact that the definition used by the State Office of Services to the Aging includes Hispanics who also listed a race other than White. A Demographic Profile of Seniors in PSA 1-A 13
Poverty Trends Table 13 allows for a finer analysis of the region’s poor seniors. While there are pockets of poverty in all communities, 98 percent of the poor live in the three communities of Detroit, Hamtramck and Highland Park. The economic status of seniors differs greatly from community to community. Highland Park has by far the highest rate of poverty in Table 13.

One of ten seniors in Highland Park lives on an annual income that is less than half the poverty threshold. While Hamtramck has the second highest share of very poor seniors (6.7 percent), Detroit surpasses it for overall poverty (18.6 vs. 18.1 percent, respectively). Both cities have a third (31.8 percent) of their seniors living below the150 percent threshold. Harper Woods falls well behind the others with 14.8 percent below 150 percent, while none of the five Grosse Pointes even approaches 6 percent. The Census Bureau’s special tabulation also provides counts of persons 60+ at or below 150% of poverty by community within Region 1-A (see Table 14). While the counts add little to the discussion, they do serve to reinforce the way need is distributed in the region. Detroit accounts for 92.4 percent of all seniors at or below 150%, with Highland Park and Hamtramck accounting for another 5.5 percent. Such concentrations make more refined geographic analysis that follows critical for determining targeting of diminishing service dollars and programs. A Demographic Profile of Seniors in PSA 1-A 14
