Cruikshank __ Chairman, Federal Council on Aging a's __-.-_ Subject: Eomparison of Data on Older People in Three Rural and Urban Locations (HRD-80-83) Dear Mr. Cruikshank: In your July 19, 1979, letter and later discussions with Dr. Thomas Davis of your staff, we were asked to provide the Council with information in specific areas, including transpor- tation, housing, employment, and income of older people living in rural and urban locations. To respond to your request, we analyzed information obtained from data bases on older people (65 years old and older) living in three locations--Cleveland, Ohio (urban); Lane County, Oregon (rural and urban); and Gateway Health District, northeastern Kentucky (rural). In summary, our comparison of rural and urban older people in these three locations shows: --The source of transportation varied among the three locations. In Lane County, older people most often provided their own transportation. In northeastern Kentucky, family and friends provided most of the transportation. In Cleveland, transportation was provided by various sources. --Fewer older people owned homes in Cleveland than in Lane County or northeastern Kentucky--51 percent in Cleveland compared to 79 percent or more in the other two locations. --Family incomes were lower in northeastern Kentucky than in the other two locations. Over 52 percent of the older people in northeastern Kentucky had in- comes of less than $3,000 compared to 32 percent in Cleveland and 15 percent or less in Lane County. (104101) ~if# 3c4
