The U.S. population is increasingly spreading out, moving to the suburbs, and migrating from the Rust Belt to the Sun Belt. This paper uses recent household-level data sets to study some of the environmental consequences of population suburbanization. It measures the increase in household driving, home fuel consumption, and land consumption brought about by population dispersion. Suburban house...

Many cities have undergone spatial redistributions of low-income populations from central to suburban neighborhoods over the past several decades. A potential negative impact these trends is that are concentrating in more automobile-oriented areas, resulting increased barriers daily travel and activity participation, particularly for those who unable afford a private vehicle. Accordingly, objec...

Studying urban population and spatial structure using aggregate census data suffers from problems of spatial aggregation and temporal comparability, particularly for the rapidly changing cities of China. The recent development in GIS has potential to represent population distribution in a continuous field with grid cells using surface model techniques, which is a more accurate representation of...

This paper analyzes redistribution by municipalities in a metropolitan area using the classical model of residential land use in a monocentric city. Crossing bid rent curves lead to spatial segregation of household types which might shield high-income households from redistribution by municipalities. If rich households live farer away from the central business district than poor households, the...

An analysis of data on the location of Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) recipients in the 100 largest U.S metropolitan areas in 2000 and 2008 finds that: • By 2008 roughly half (49.4 percent) of all HCV recipients lived in suburban areas. That represents a 2.1 percentage point increase in the suburbanization rate of HCV recipients compared to 2000. However, by 2008 HCV recipients remained less subu...
