Columbia University School of Public Health, Division of Geriatrics and Gerontology, New York, NY 10027.

A real estate market trends analysis of a low-income area on the Upper West Side of Manhattan revealed increases in residential properties of 400% during 1980-1988, and 1,754% in the Manhattan Valley area of this community, compared with 203% in all of Manhattan. An analysis of databases revealed a depletion of 51.9% of the single-room occupancy housing stock in this area. A survey of 115 seniors indicated a population at risk of displacement and vulnerable to homelessness.
