List of exurbs in the United States
This list of exurbs in the United States from the Finding Exurbia report was identified by the Brookings Institution in 2006.[1]
Criteria[]
To qualify as an exurb in the Finding Exurbia report, a census tract must meet three criteria:
- Economic connection to a large metropolis.
- 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.
- Population growth exceeding the average for its metropolitan area.
