Abstract
Using a variety of census records and agency statistics, this study identifies neighborhood types in the City of Los Angeles and demonstrates substantial differences in the capabilities and neighborhood conditions of their older residents. The results also show the distribution of local governmental regulations, programs, and services that can improve neighborhood deficiencies or preserve or destroy supportive neighborhoods. The concepts and data developed for this descriptive study can be adapted by Area Agencies on Aging to improve advocacy to local government and the allocation of Title III and VII programs.Keywords
