	Exurb
		Exurbs tend to be populated by people that work in the city and bring their capital home to spend on local services.
		Exurbs are commonly viewed as the only rural communities which are benefiting from the rural exodus.
		Exurbs are increasingly faced with problems of over-crowding and pollution along with over-taxation of services such as cooking, dry cleaning, parcel-delivery[?], repairs, and systems maintenance.

	suburb vs. exurb? - UrbanPlanet.org
		Exurbs are newly settled rural areas that have traditionally been rural, whereas suburbs are any area that has a mutual relationship with a larger municipality.
		Unfortunately most exurbs are being developed just like the newer suburbs and will be doomed to repeat the mistakes if their older counterparts.
		Exurb: Small, semi-rural towns at least 100 miles away from major metropolitan areas that house suburbanites seeking cheaper housing, a slower plce of life and desire to be near nature.

	Talk:Exurb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Exurbs tend to be populated by people that work in the city and bring their capital home to spend on local services, thus retaining the urban connections that are characteristically severed by the more recent developments called by the US Census Bureau "micropolises".
		Exurbs are commonly viewed as the only rural communities which are directly benefiting from the rural exodus.

	City Comforts, temporarily known as Viaduct, The Blog: "Suburbs" vs. "Exurbs"
		People in established suburbs are moving out to vast sprawling exurbs that have broken free of the gravitational pull of the cities and now exist in their own world far beyond.
		Increasingly, some people in the exurbs seem to be discovering the joys of urban living, or at least of urban nightlife, and are actually making the long and dangerous trip into the city more than they had in the recent past.
		Exurbs are not so much a departure from suburbs as they are a distillation of the suburban essence.

	Finding Exurbia: America's Fast-Growing Communities at the Metropolitan Fringe
		It defines exurbs as communities located on the urban fringe that have at least 20 percent of their workers commuting to jobs in an urbanized area, exhibit low housing density, and have relatively high population growth.
		Residents of the "average" exurb are disproportionately white, middle-income, homeowners, and commuters.
		Just 6 percent of large metro area residents live in an exurb, and these exurbs vary from affordable housing havens for middle-class families, to "favored quarters" for high-income residents, to the path of least resistance for new development.

	Exurb (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.netlab.uky.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The expression "exurb" (for "extra-urban") was coined in the 1950s to describe the ring of prosperous rural communities beyond the suburbs that, due to availability via the new high-speed limited-access highways, were becoming dormitory communities for an urban area.
		Earlier exurbs had been reached through commuter rail and parkway systems, with classic examples towards the end of Philadelphia's Main Line and in Upper Westchester County, New York.
		Exurbs are not unique to the United States — they are also found in other land-rich developed countries, notably Canada and Australia.

	Pasco: 'Exurb' is word for New River (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The first of a series of stories that aims to "examine life in America's most far-flung suburbs," the newspaper put New River, and by extension Pasco County, under the microscope.
		The reporter dubbed the area an exurb, or a semirural residential community far outside a city.
		Pasco's rate of growth is such that it won't be long before you'll be able to remove the "ex' from the exurb.

	Just What is an Exurb? - Cyburbia Forums
		In my mind, an exurb is a rural community that is on its way to becoming a suburb due to rapid large-lot development.
		Essentialy, whereas suburbs are mostly urban as opposed to rural - exurbs are mostly rural as opposed to urban.
		When I think of exurbs, I think of towns where a lot of development (primarily large lot) has overtaken a small country town, and where people primarily commute to the suburbs or city center for jobs.

	MyDD :: Exurbs Growing Rapidly, Sort Of
		Once you adjust the increase in votes in these counties for population increase (see my earlier post on this subject), their adjusted rise in turnout in 2004 was actually less than in rural, suburban and urban counties, as defined by NCEC.
		We all know that people who live in exurbs tend to vote Republican, so if Republicans can convince as many people as possible that they live in exurbs than they are one step closer to becoming the "natural" governing party both now and in the future.
		So while exurbs are packed with people who are looking for jobs and cheap housing for people who got married before 25...the hordes of late marriers are about to "hatch".

	Greater Ohio \| Issue Briefings
		Unlike many other states with growing exurbs, however, Ohio is barely growing in population as a whole.
		Using data from 1990 to 2005, the study found that residents of the average exurb are “disproportionately white, middle-income, homeowners and commuters.” Nonetheless many popular stereotypes don’t prove true.
		The study reports that for all the talk of the exurban impact on the outcome of the 2004 presidential election, the actual number of votes coming from the exurbs is relatively small at just nine percent of the total vote.

	The Emerging Democratic Majority
		According to some observers, Republican domination of these areas was the key to Bush’s reelection victory and, because of the phenomenal level of mobilization in these fast-growing areas, Republicans should continue to out-point the demographically stagnant Democrats in the future.
		Therefore, if we are interested in the extent to which mobilization changed between the 2000 and 2004 elections, we need to measure the change in votes cast relative to the growth of the population between 2000 and 2004.
		Note that both definitions allude to exurbs being beyond the conventional suburbs—on the very fringes of metro areas and not suburbs in the standard sense.

	The Venus Project Bulletin Board - The Universal Declaration of Human Rights
		Exurb is a town or small city located about two hours from a major metropolitan area.
		The exurb would provide the requirements needed for the materials and items not available from our community efforts and as a community we could assist the town-we do have many skilled people as members already and more to follow over the next year before the 2007 meeting.
		The exurb definition of two hours is a maximium driving time-and at current expressway speeds can be up to 140 miles and that is far too long to drive.

	TJM.org - Tim McCormick — Jonathan Mahler The Soul of the New Exurb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		In a sense, the new breed of megachurches has more in common with the frontier churches of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which served as gathering places for pioneers who had gone West in search of opportunity.
		In sprawling, decentralized exurbs like Surprise, where housing developments rarely include porches, parks, stoops or any of the other features that have historically brought neighbors together, megachurches provide a locus for community.
		Which explains why the typical Surprise resident, as in many fast-growing exurbs, is a young, white, married couple of modest means.

		An exurb with decentralized, city-quality infrastructure, industries, and services; an exurb that contains a disproportionate number of technology-based businesses.
		An exurb (1955) is a community that lies just outside of a city's suburbs, and the collection of these communities is called exurbia (1955).
		A technoburb is an example of an accidental city, an exurb that, over time and without design, morphs into a true city, although with its amenities and services decentralized and spread throughout the community.

	Extreme Commuting: Is It For You?
		This reality is forcing an increasing number of people to move to what is being called the "exurbs," which are basically the suburbs of the suburbs.
		This is a huge factor if you consider that housing is the largest single expense for most households and, according to the National Association of Home Builders, the prices for new homes have nearly tripled over the past two decades.
		Car insurance, for example, tends to be lower due to the lower traffic volumes and less frequent accidents in the exurbs.

		Considering the fact that it costs more to supply sprawl and new exurb developments with basic city services than traditional urban development, it looks like a way to target the cost of those services to the actual recipients.
		In fact, it sounds like a good way to align these exurb developments with the actual cost they exert on the community.
		You CAN buy homes in the 300k range (we did 5 yrs ago for 150k and sold 2 yrs later for twice that) but those houses will all have security bars on the windows and are falling apart because of the neighborhoods they are in.

	MyDD :: It's rural America stupid
		That Clermont and Warren are exurb counties is true, but then the DCCC writer then goes on to layout the totals for the rural counties of Adams, Brown, and Pike counties, with the Hackett gains over Kerry's totals being highlighted as suburban and and exurban counties.
		And it's true...if an "exurb" means anything...it's the most distant ring of suburban growth in a metropolitan area.
		Places that were exurbs five years ago are not now, either because they are now within the surburban pale completely, or development collapsed.

		And just about everywhere, people are escaping to the outer suburbs, also known as exurbs.

	The Revealer
		The New York Times has declared itself on the subject of megachurches -- and thus, in the paper's logic, evangelicaldom -- with an 8,107 word story in its Easter Sunday edition of the magazine, "The Soul of a New Exurb," by contributing editor Jonathan Mahler.
		I read it with terrible dismay, not because it's bad, but because it's pretty good, and, as it happens, on Good Friday I put to bed a 10,000-plus word story on a megachurch -- New Life, in Colorado Springs -- and exurbanism for Harper's magazine.
		"In sprawling, decentralized exurbs like Surprise," writes Mahler, "where housing developments rarely include porches, parks, stoops or any of the other features that have historically brought neighbors together, megachurches provide a locus for community.
