SECTOR ANALYSIS In 1997 the City of Detroit launched a community-wide effort called the Community Reinvestment Strategy (CRS). This effort divided the city into 10 sectors (see Map Appendix), as recommended by a previous land use task force study, and brought together people who either worked or lived in these sectors to construct development plans. These 10 sectors have continued to be used for planning purposes and service delivery (i.e. the Health Department has moved its structure from Health Planning Areas to CRS sectors). The Detroit Area Agency on Aging, recognizing the importance of these sectors to the City of Detroit, has chosen to use this geography as one of their levels of analysis 7 . In order to bring the rest of Region 1-A’s territory into this analysis, two additional sectors have been identified – one that combines Hamtramck and Highland Park, and the other that includes the five Grosse Pointes and Harper Woods. Population Trends Only 1 of the 12 sectors experienced growth over the decade. Sector 9, located in the near northwest area of the City grew by 9.9 percent – approximately 1,300 people. This resulted in an increase in its share of Region 1-A’s population from 6.7 percent to 9.5 percent. Sector 10, situated just to the north of Sector 9, experienced the smallest loss of the decade – 1.8 percent, or 230 people. The other two sectors on the city’s west side, Sectors 7 and 8, experienced much larger losses but still fell below the citywide average. Table 18.

Sector 11 is comprised of Hamtramck and Highland Park. Sector 12 encompasses the 5 Grosse Pointes and Harper Woods. 7 While this analysis will further dissect the City of Detroit into its subcommunities and census tracts - both of which allow for more detailed targeting – sectors provide a unit of analysis, in terms of both population and land area, which is ideal for the structuring of service delivery.

The east side of the City experienced very different results. Sectors 1, 2 and 3 all lost better than one-forth of their senior population, as did Sector 4, which encompasses the downtown core. Significant losses also occurred in Sector 5 in southwest Detroit, where an increasingly younger Hispanic population is replacing older residents, and in Sector 6 in the central corridor of the city. Because the percentage loss in each of these areas exceeded that of the region as a whole, their shares of the regional total also fell. While significant losses also occurred in the non-Detroit Sectors 11 and 12, the percentage loss in 11 mirrored that of the region, thus leaving its share unchanged, while that in 12 was less than that of the region leading to increase in its share from 8.3 to 8.8 percent. While the significant losses that occurred on the east side of Detroit resulted in losses for each of the cohorts (see Table 19), the losses decreased in the older cohorts, and in some cases were quite minimal. In sectors where the overall loss was not as great, increasing numbers occurred in some of the older cohorts. These trends reinforce the regional trend discussed earlier that Region 1-A’s population, while decreasing, has become older and more needy. Table 19.

While all sectors experienced a loss of Whites, losses exceeded 50 percent in Sectors 1 through 9. Though this report will not describe each sector’s change in detail (Table 20 provides that information), the specific changes that occurred in two of the sectors, 2 and 9, are illustrative of the trends occurring throughout the region. Sector 2, in the northeast corner of Detroit, led all others in population loss over the decade. The racial trends show that this loss occurred totally in the White population.
