Description
Feeling safe at home shapes how people age, yet the voices of Black adults in segregated neighborhoods are rarely heard on this topic. The authors draw on the THINK PHRESH study, using 60 in-depth interviews with adults aged 35 to 89. The participants live in two mostly Black, low-income neighborhoods with different histories of disinvestment and racist policy. Interviews explore how safety in each place has changed over time and how those changes bear on aging.
Residents describe several sides of shifting safety, including stress that builds as places feel less secure. The two neighborhoods differ in policing style, in how individuals act, and in the resources at hand, all of which color how safe people feel. The authors argue that programs for healthy aging should be built with these local histories in mind. They call for work on the upstream social conditions behind the gaps they document.
