Study Reveals New Insights Into America's First Suburbs
|
Neither fully urban nor completely suburban, America's older, inner-ring, "first" suburbs have a unique set of challenges—such as concentrations of elderly and immigrant populations as well as outmoded housing and commercial buildings—very different from those of the center city and fast growing newer places.
-
Overall, from 1950 to 2000 first suburbs grew twice as fast as the national rate—with most of this
growth occurring several decades ago.
-
Today, nearly one-in-five Americans now live in first suburbs, up from about one-in-eight in 1950.
-
Nationally, 31.5 percent of the population lived in a first suburb or primary city in 2000.
-
Los Angeles is, by far, the largest first suburb with 5.4 million residents in 2000—more than that of
32 states.
-
Over 20 percent of the nation’s non-white residents now live in first suburbs.
