Using data from the November 1979 Current Population Survey, the pattern of living with relatives among American elderly of European origin was examined. Data show that, in general, the elderly with Southern, Central, and Eastern European ancestries were more likely to live with relatives than were their Northwestern European counterparts. Findings offer support for the notion that ethnicity remains an important factor among Americans of Southern, Central, and Eastern European ancestry. There were exceptions, most notably those elderly with a Russian background.
