This urban-suburban divide, however, has changed in recent decades as suburban communities (and their school districts) have diversified. This study provides an updated cross-sectional portrait of recent racial-ethnic segregation and…

Direct linkFreeman, Eric – Education and Urban Society, 2010
Poverty in the United States is migrating far beyond the urban core and transforming the suburbs into places increasingly stratified by income, wealth, opportunity, and education.

1980 census data for the Saint Louis, Missouri, metropolitan area indicated (1) no change in central city desegregation and only a modest decline in suburban segregation; (2) rapid Black population growth in suburbs with low segregation indexes (signifying a possible racial turnover); and (3) repetition of central city segregation patterns in the…

Despite decades of policy efforts to…
