Abstract

Indexes of dissimilarity were calculated for 18 standard metropolitan statistical areas in 1970 and 1980. The indexes measured the level of residential segregation of persons 65 and older, 65 to 74 and 75 and older. Results indicated a significantly higher level of segregation for persons 75 and older than persons 65 to 74 in both 1970 and 1980. The difference in the level of residential segregation between persons 65 to 74 and 75 and older significantly increased from 1970 to 1980. When measured as a single age group aged 65 and above, there was no significant change in the level of residential segregation from 1970 to 1980. This result indicates that failure to disaggregate the elderly population into two distinct age groups would have resulted in missing changes in the level and trend of residential segregation among the elderly population.

摘要

1970年和1980年，针对18个标准大都市统计区计算了差异指数。这些指数衡量了65岁及以上、65至74岁以及75岁及以上人群的居住隔离水平。结果表明，在1970年和1980年，75岁及以上人群的隔离水平显著高于65至74岁人群。1970年至1980年期间，65至74岁人群与75岁及以上人群的居住隔离水平差异显著增加。当将65岁及以上人群作为一个单一年龄组进行衡量时，1970年至1980年期间居住隔离水平没有显著变化。这一结果表明，如果不将老年人口细分为两个不同的年龄组，就会遗漏老年人口居住隔离水平和趋势的变化。
