The Back to the Suburbs Movement Resumes

Population shifts...

A suburbanization revival.

Newly released census data for the first seven years of this decade signal a resumption of the population dispersal that was put "on hold" for a good part of the post-Great Recession period, William Frey writes on brookings.edu.

The Census Bureau's annual county and metropolitan area estimates through 2017 reveal a revival of suburbanization and movement to rural areas along with Snow Belt-to-Sun Belt population shifts, Frey wrote.

The new numbers leave little doubt that suburbanization is on the rise, after a decided lull in the first part of the decade, he added.
