New American Suburb

The majority of Americans live in suburbs and until about a decade or so ago most suburbs had been assumed to be non-Hispanic White affluent and without problems. However recent data have shown that there are changing trends among U.S. suburbs. This book provides timely analyses of current suburban issues by utilizing recently published data from the 2010 Census and American Community Survey to address key themes including suburban poverty; racial and ethnic change and suburban decline; suburban foreclosures; and suburban policy.
