Are Facilities Serving Immigrant Seniors?
Cities with higher levels of immigration tend to have more residential care facilities, which suggests that care infrastructure partly reflects the presence of larger immigrant communities. Although research shows that some immigrant groups are less likely to enter nursing homes due to cultural expectations around family caregiving, the number of facilities still increases alongside immigrant populations across the six cities.
Together with context from the earlier comparisons, this final view connects population size, immigration, cultural diversity, and income to provide a broader picture of how senior care infrastructure supports aging communities. With these factors in mind, return to the map and explore how these factors come together across cities.
