Now that we have looked at the fundamental demographic and socioeconomic patterns of Region 1-A’s population by sector, it is time to highlight other characteristics 9 . Living Arrangements Table 22 describes the living arrangements of the 60+ population. The most important characteristic, from a service/need standpoint, is the degree to which the population is living alone. Living alone is often associated with poverty, disability and other characteristics that translate to a higher need for services. The correlation between living alone and poverty is quite clearly illustrated by the fact that our highest poverty sectors, 4 and 11, also contain the highest proportions of seniors living alone.

While the Census Bureau did not tabulate the group quarters population for 60 years and above, they did tabulate it for 65 and above. Table 24 provides the detail by sector. The majority of sectors, with the exception of 2 and 5, have a fairly large number of group quarters – primarily nursing homes – population. The heaviest concentration is in Sector 3 on the lower east side of Detroit, where the concentration of nursing home facilities along E. Grand Blvd. gives this sector 31 percent of the group quarters total. As would be expected, females account for 65 to 70 percent of the total group quarters population. 9 The data highlighted in the report are included in the detailed appendix tables. These tables also contain additional data that were viewed to be beyond the scope of the written report. A Demographic Profile of Seniors in PSA 1-A 21

While older householders are more likely to own their home, rather than rent, there are obviously areas in the region where this is less likely the case. Looking at the table in detail shows us that, while ownership rates for all age groups tend to run in the 75 percent and over range, the sectors in which we have previously recognized issues of poverty and living alone also show up as low ownership areas. Highlighting Sector 4 once again, we see that no group exceeds a 34 percent ownership rate. This stands out in sharp contrast even with Sector 11 that has high rates of poverty and living alone but ownership rates of better than 50 percent across all age groups. Table 25.
