Abstract: The purpose of this exploratory study is to identify various sociogeographic characteristics and emerging service needs of older adult immigrants resulting from suburbanization and socioeconomic changes in Chicago during the last two decades. Integrating the Geographical Information Systems (GIS) with the Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA), this study analyzes data from 529 Korean American older adults who received services from a Korean ethnic social service agency. The findings from this study provide preliminary knowledge on emerging social service needs and suggest a useful insight in developing new programs for Korean American and other immigrant social service agencies.
