Abstract

Despite signs of decline, older inner suburban areas have not drawn much attention as declining central cities in the United States. In this paper, we study intrametropolitan residential mobility in the greater Columbus, Ohio, metropolitan area, focusing on older suburban areas. We organize our discussion around possible explanations for the decline of older suburbs associated with suburbanization, utilizing natural evolution and flight from blight theories. We found that there is a sequence of outward movement toward newer suburbs from older suburbs, and the households who moved to outer areas often cited the desire for a newer house. These results indicate that policies to help remodel older homes and/or construct new homes to replace older ones can be an initial step for those older suburbs to retain households. We conclude that natural evolution explains older suburban movers' outward movement, but there are signs that the flight from blight explanations may become more important in the future.
