Abstract

This paper gives a descriptive mapping of the population and employment changes and the characteristics of these changes between central cities and suburbs of U.S. metropolitan areas, post 2000. The key findings of this study are: population centralization happened between 2005 and 2010. However, between 2002 and 2007, job growth was happening in the suburbs; newly formed central cities contributed much toward the rise in population of central cities; population centralization on average involved more whites, college students, young professionals, and non-whites, respectively. On the other hand, non-white population increased in the suburbs; with a shift in the demographic distribution of population between central cities and suburbs, urban revival tapered down by the end of 2015. As employment responds to this, policies should be suitably directed to accommodate these changes.
