List of exurbs in the United States

From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

This list of exurbs in the United States from the Finding Exurbia report was identified by the Brookings Institution in 2006.[1]

Criteria[edit]

To qualify as an exurb in the Finding Exurbia report, a census tract must meet three criteria:

  1. Economic connection to a large metropolis.
  2. Low housing density: bottom third of census tracts with regard to housing density. In 2000, this was a minimum of 2.6 acres (11,000 m2) per resident.
  3. Population growth exceeding the average for its metropolitan area.

List[edit]

These exurbs are listed in the report.

We first identify exurbs using census tracts—small areas with an average of 4,000 people—and then aggregate these areas to the county level for further analysis.
