Abstract
A residual group of elderly, immigrant Jews now living in an urban low-income high-crime area were studied. By almost all indices of well-being they were markedly deprived compared to the aged population of the USA or to comparison groups of elderly people in other contexts. The relationship of environmental factors to well-being was explored in relationship to health and demographic factors. Environmental variables had a substantial and unique association with neighborhood motility and interviewers' ratings of vigor, interaction, and responsiveness.Keywords
