all. Region 11 had a larger percentage – 28.6 percent – speaking another language and 9 percent speaking English less than well or not at all. This region contains Hamtramck, which, in addition to having remnants of the older Polish-speaking population still in the area, experienced population growth for the first time in decades during the 1990’s due to large numbers of recent immigrants. These immigrants – from Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Yemen, Bosnia, Serbia, and numerous other countries – have brought back the flavor the city had in the early 20 th Century. Conclusions and Recommendations The cumulative effects of a decreasing senior population and decreasing statewide shares of minority and poor seniors necessitate that the Detroit Area Agency on Aging will be required to provide services to a needier population with fewer resources. Such a fact makes it critical that services are provided in a targeted, efficient manner. While providing the context for viewing seniors in PSA 1-A, demographic analysis can only go so far. Additional secondary and primary data collection are necessary to fill out this context. Fortunately, such data collection has been performed. Health status indicators have been compiled for the region and for sectors, and agency program participation data have been analyzed as well. The Institute of Gerontology at Wayne State University conducted a large-scale survey of seniors in Detroit and has produced a citywide analysis, as well as limited sector analyses. It is recommended that the survey responses be further analyzed at the sector level so as to provide the greatest amount of information possible for these important, and diverse, sub-areas of the city. While each of these studies stands alone as an important component of the “picture” of seniors in PSA 1-A, it is strongly recommended that they be brought together at both the region and sector level so that the picture contains a “depth of field.” To the extent possible, sector-based profiles of seniors should be compiled. These profiles could then be used as the basis for program planning in the region. In summary, the Center for Urban Studies hopes that this work marks the beginning of a continuing relationship with DAAA as the agency works to understand the needs of its seniors in order to strategically plan its services.
