Annotation	This monograph draws on data from the Pathways to Life Quality study, a panel survey of more than 800 older Americans (aged 55 to 100) living in a variety of housing arrangements in an upstate New York county. The book is also a collaborative project of faculty and students at Cornell University and Ithaca College. The study examines factors associated with life quality of respondents living on their own, those in various other housing arrangements, and those making residential moves between 1997 and 1999. The focus is on how changes in health, well-being, social integration, and satisfaction with housing are related to the type of residential environment in which older people live, or to the decision-making process on where to live in old age.
