This paper analyzes U.S. Census, Current Population Survey data from 1970 to 1988. It establishes that the young-old (age 65-74) and old-old (75 plus) populations are now more likely to live in metropolitan areas, especially within suburban areas, and are occupying residential locations that are less segregated from other age groups. As early as 1977 the majority of metropolitan elderly people lived in suburban areas, and by 1988 only just over one-quarter of the U.S. elderly population lived in nonmetropolitan areas.
本文分析了1970年至1988年的美国人口普查及当期人口调查数据。研究表明，低龄老年人（65 - 74岁）和高龄老年人（75岁及以上）现在更有可能居住在大都市区，尤其是郊区，并且他们居住的地点与其他年龄组的隔离程度较低。早在1977年，大多数大都市区的老年人就居住在郊区，到1988年，只有略超过四分之一的美国老年人口居住在非大都市区。
