While Hispanic and other ethnic populations are becoming increasingly hetero geneous and dispersed throughout many metropolitan areas, most research on Hispanic self-help organizations focuses upon barrio setting. This article illus trates how socio-economic heterogeneity and geographic dispersal within a metro politan area necessitates adaptation in the roles of ethnic self-help organizations. A survey of Hispanics in the Atlanta metropolitan area reveals intra-urban migration patterns, trends in community identity, and variations in the utilization of Hispanic service agencies which guide a discussion of strategies that may be employed by ethnic self-help organizations in non-barrio settings.
