The spatial segregation and isolation of the elderly are important to their own personal satisfaction, and to the various social service programs that serve them. In addition, spatial concentration of the elderly plays a role in determining intra-neighborhood heterogeneity and inter-generational contact, can affect the neighborhood transition process by creating clusters of available housing, and may have implications for the community as a whole by structuring support for age- related community services such as schools, libraries, daycare centers, etc. The proposed research will use census tract data from the 1970, 1980 and 1990 decennial censuses to investigate issues related to the spatial location of the elderly in metropolitan areas in the U.S. First, it will calculate the segregation and neighborhood isolation of the total population aged 65 +. and then break the population down into non- Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, Asian and Hispanic groups and calculate their segregation from non-Hispanic whites and from each other. Trends in the segregation of these race/elderly groups will be measured over time, from 1970-1990. Second, within each of the four race/ethnic groups, the 1990 segregation of the elderly by immigrant and poverty status will be calculated to show how spatial isolation varies within these groups. Third, for a small sample of metropolitan areas where the elderly and immigrant elderly are concentrated, the project will calculate profiles of the neighborhood environments of these different groups of elderly, estimate the role of the elderly in neighborhood race/ethnic and socioeconomic status transitions, with particular emphasis on racial/ethnic differences in these effects, and create maps of the elderly location and their neighborhoods.

老年人的空间隔离和孤立对于 自己的个人满意度，并为各种社会服务 为他们服务的项目。此外， 老年人在决定邻里异质性方面发挥作用， 代际接触，会影响邻里关系的转变 通过创建可用住房集群来进行过程， 对整个社会的影响，通过结构化的支持年龄- 相关的社区服务，如学校，图书馆，日托中心， 等 拟议中的研究将使用1970年、1980年和1990年的人口普查区数据。 1990年十年一次的人口普查， 在美国大都市地区的老年人的位置首先，它将 计算总的隔离度和邻域隔离度 65岁以上人口。然后把人口分成非- 西班牙裔白色、非西班牙裔黑人、亚裔和西班牙裔群体， 计算他们与非西班牙裔白人以及彼此之间的隔离。 将衡量这些种族/老年群体的隔离趋势 从1970年到1990年。第二，在四个种族/民族中， 1990年移民和贫困对老年人的隔离 将计算状态，以显示空间隔离在 这些团体。第三，对于一个小样本的大都市地区， 老年人和移民老年人集中，该项目将 计算这些不同的邻居环境的概况， 老年人群体，估计老年人在邻里中的作用 种族/族裔和社会经济地位的转变，特别是 强调这些影响中的种族/民族差异，并创建地图 老人的位置和他们的社区。
