List of exurbs in the United States explained

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:

  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 per resident.
  3. Population growth exceeding the average for its metropolitan area.
