showed some of the greatest numeric population losses. In contrast, core urban counties in the Snow Belt, including Cook Co., Ill., Cuyahoga Co., Ohio, and Allegheny Co., Pa.
Kaufman County in suburban Dallas, Pinal County in suburban Phoenix, and Toole County in suburban Salt Lake City, Utah were among those registering highest growth. Revived suburban and exurban growth is most pronounced in the Sun Belt metropolitan areas. Since then, the growth of urban cores has halved and exurban county growth has quadrupled. The double whammy of the Great Recession and a mortgage meltdown seemed to have put the brakes on suburban growth, which trended downward through 2012-the peak year of the “back to the city” movement-when outer suburbs grew more slowly than urban cores. Using a Brookings classification of counties associated with urban cores and suburban counties within large metropolitan areas, we see a continued rise in both outer exurban areas and low-density emerging suburban counties at growth levels not registered since 2008. But the trends through 20 put an exclamation point on it, as seen in Figure 1. Migration patterns and city-suburb shifts already hinted at this trend in the last year. The new numbers leave little doubt that suburbanization is on the rise, after a decided lull in the first part of the decade. Senior Fellow - Brookings Metro Suburbanization picks up
