One community that needs to be looked at more closely is Highland Park. Previous data demonstrated that its elderly residents had the highest need, based on high levels <strong>of</strong> poverty. Table 15 shows that half <strong>of</strong> all age categories are also liv<strong>in</strong>g alone. Table 16.

The most frequent form <strong>of</strong> group quarters arrangement for seniors is that <strong>of</strong> nurs<strong>in</strong>g homes. Region 1-A had a total <strong>of</strong> 5,256 seniors (65+) liv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> group quarters <strong>in</strong> 2000. Nurs<strong>in</strong>g homes accounted for 81 percent <strong>of</strong> group quarters residents and the City <strong>of</strong> <strong>Detroit</strong> accounted for 89 percent <strong>of</strong> the total group quarters population.

Sector Analysis In 1997 the City <strong>of</strong> <strong>Detroit</strong> launched a community-wide effort called the Community Re<strong>in</strong>vestment Strategy (CRS). This effort divided the city <strong>in</strong>to 10 sectors (see Map Appendix), as recommended by a previous land use task force study, and brought together people who either worked or lived <strong>in</strong> these sectors to construct development plans. These 10 sectors have cont<strong>in</strong>ued to be used for plann<strong>in</strong>g purposes and service delivery (i.e. the Health Department has moved its structure from Health Plann<strong>in</strong>g <strong>Area</strong>s to CRS sectors). The <strong>Detroit</strong> <strong>Area</strong> <strong>Agency</strong> on Ag<strong>in</strong>g, recogniz<strong>in</strong>g the importance <strong>of</strong> these sectors to the City <strong>of</strong> <strong>Detroit</strong>, has chosen to use this geography as one <strong>of</strong> their levels <strong>of</strong> analysis 7 . In order to br<strong>in</strong>g the rest <strong>of</strong> Region 1-A’s territory <strong>in</strong>to this analysis, two additional sectors have been identified – one that comb<strong>in</strong>es Hamtramck and Highland Park, and the other that <strong>in</strong>cludes the five Grosse Po<strong>in</strong>tes and Harper Woods. Only 1 <strong>of</strong> the 12 sectors experienced growth over the decade. Sector 9, located <strong>in</strong> the near northwest area <strong>of</strong> the City grew by 9.9 percent – approximately 1,300 people. This resulted <strong>in</strong> an <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> its share <strong>of</strong> Region 1-A’s population from 6.7 percent to 9.5 percent. Sector 10, situated just to the north <strong>of</strong> Sector 9, experienced the smallest loss <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> Hamtramck and Highland Park. Sector 12 encompasses the 5 Grosse Po<strong>in</strong>tes and Harper Woods. 7 While this analysis will further dissect the City <strong>of</strong> <strong>Detroit</strong> <strong>in</strong>to its subcommunities and census tracts - both <strong>of</strong> which allow for more detailed target<strong>in</strong>g – sectors provide a unit <strong>of</strong> analysis, <strong>in</strong> terms <strong>of</strong> both population and land area, which is ideal for the structur<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> service delivery. 13
