	SUBURBAN TRANSIT
		Residential areas were within walking distance of the railroad stations, where commuter trains took the workers to their jobs in downtown Chicago.
		And as newer suburban areas developed, buses were used for the new local transit routes.
		And of course in the older suburban areas, buses eventually replaced the streetcars.

	LWVCA: Suburban Sprawl
		Growth in the metropolitan area’s share went marginally to the inner-ring suburbs (15.5% to 17%) and dramatically to the outer-ring suburbs (32% to 60.6%) The 1996 assessed valuation of the latter exceed that of the central cities and the inner-ring suburbs combined.
		Zone An area, or areas, of the community or county in which certain land uses are permitted and other uses are prohibited by the zoning ordinance.
		Agricultural security areas help protect blocks of agricultural land, are initiated by a landowner, require a large minimum lot size and must be kept in agricultural use for the length of the agreement.

	New Jersey Department of Community Affairs: Office of Smart Growth
		The Suburban Planning Area is unique in that the availability of public infrastructure offers the opportunity to create a development pattern with reasonable densities and physical continuity—with functional transportation linkages throughout and existing and approved planned sewer systems while protecting the integrity of the area’s natural systems.
		The Suburban Planning Area, as the most rapidly developing part of New Jersey, should be managed actively by its municipalities, counties, regional agencies, community groups and the state to avoid additional haphazard development—and a continuation of the current trend towards sprawl— without deterring growth.
		The Environs—which in Suburban Planning Areas are predominantly protected natural systems and their buffers (such as riparian corridors and wetlands), selected prime farmland and regional recreational areas to be preserved—require planning at the regional or sub-regional level with assistance from the state.

	Summary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The third column is the proportion of the suburban population, as of 1996, living in places where the poverty rate in 1989 exceeded the U.S. average poverty rate at that time, 13.1 percent.
		Note that the third column does not report the percentage of the total suburban population living in poverty or even the percentage of the population in the identified places that is poor.
		The ranking is by suburban population in 1996 and, therefore, the ranking is identical to that in Table 1.

	Homelessness: Programs and the People They Serve (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Among all homeless clients, 71 percent were interviewed in central cities, 21 percent in suburban areas, and 9 percent in rural areas (table 2.9).
		Thirty-three percent of suburban homeless clients, 24 percent of those from central cities, and 12 percent of those from rural areas report being physically or sexually abused before the age of 18.
		Sixty-four percent of clients from rural areas have spent time in juvenile detention, jail, or state or federal prison, compared with 55 percent of those from central cities and 44 percent from suburban areas.

	Suburban and Rural Populations - The Body
		Suburban and rural populations are those living in regions at some degree of remove from major cities.
		Although some may reside in metropolitan areas in relatively close proximity to cities, there are often substantial differences in lifestyle and socioeconomic status between urban and nonurban populations.
		In the early 1980s, suburban and rural populations were generally considered to be at low risk for HIV infection according to population-based estimates that identified HIV infections more often among urban populations, particularly gay men and injecting drug users.

	Bureau of Justice Statistics Urban, Suburban, and Rural Victimization, 1993-98
		From 1993 to 1998 the trends in violent and property crime for urban and suburban areas were similar.
		Although most violent crimes in urban (60%), suburban (68%), and rural (70%) areas were committed without a weapon, firearm usage in the commission of a violent crime was higher in urban areas when compared to suburban or rural areas (12% urban versus 9% suburban and 8% rural).
		Between 1993 and 1998, 19 in 20 suburban and rural households owned motor vehicles; however, in suburban households the theft of motor vehicles (13 per 1,000 households) was twice the rural rate (6 per 1,000 households) during this period.

	VOCATIONAL EDUCATION OFFERINGS IN RURAL HIGH SCHOOLS
		Schools in these areas are likely to differ in the nature of their local labor markets, and thus in the demand for vocational education faced by schools.
		Urban areas had a higher proportion of vocational high schools than did suburban areas and rural areas, possibly because urban areas were more likely to use vocational high schools as magnet schools.
		Suburban areas are the urban fringes of large and mid-size cities, as well as large towns and rural communities located within metropolitan areas.

	INTERDEPENDENCE - CHAPTER 5 : METROPOLLITAN VITALITY: URBAN / SUBURBAN DISTINCTIONS
		Concentrated areas of higher median incomes are found along the Interstate 280 corridor in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties, along the Highway 24 and Interstate 680 corridors and in the Berkeley/Oakland hills.
		For example, the percentage of Bay Area children living in poverty rose by nearly 4% between 1989 and 1994 (11.5% to 15.3%).8 Also, poverty rates and the concentration of people living in poverty are much higher in the urban areas.
		The suburban areas did spend about 5% more of their total expenditures on culture and leisure, and the urban areas spent about 4% more for transportation.

	The Ripon Society
		So Congressman Mark Kirk of Illinois went to about 20 suburban areas and asked the families who live there what was important to them, what concerns were on their minds.
		Our suburban priorities are transportation — suburban dwellers often commute to and from their jobs, making their roadways of utmost importance — the migration of gangs into suburban areas, and the increasing prevalence of drug use by suburban students.
		Suburban constituents’ concerns are unique and they require a focused, coordinated approach, which the members involved in this effort are dedicated to providing.

	Suburban Sprawl Rolling Over Imperiled Wildlife
		The nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas, each with more than a million residents, are home to some 1,200 imperiled species - 29 percent those studied in the report.
		The concern is even greater for 553 of the imperiled species that are found only in the fast growing large metropolitan areas, which are concentrated in the western and southern regions of the country.
		The collision course between suburban sprawl and wildlife is a particular concern in California - the state is home to 16 of the top 20 fastest-growing metropolitan counties for imperiled species.

	LSTA Survey Report - Texas State Library and Archives
		On average, libraries serving primarily rural areas found the technology-related training, assistance or consulting provided to them by their respective Library System to be more helpful than libraries serving primarily urban or suburban areas.
		Similarly, prior to the technology-related training, 19 percent of the libraries serving suburban areas considered themselves technologically self-sufficient; this status was claimed subsequent to the assistance by 31 percent of these libraries.
		Forty-three percent of the libraries serving primarily rural areas, 41 percent of libraries serving primarily urban areas, and 34 percent of the libraries serving primarily suburban areas were in this cluster.

	City vs. Suburban Teens
		While the differences between lifestyles of teenagers living in suburban versus urban areas may not be as great as has been believed in the past, there is one area statistics show that still remains very different - the homeless population.
		Urban area homeless individuals are more likely than those from rural areas to have used a soup kitchen and a drop-in center in their lifetime The availability of these programs outside urban areas probably affects these results.
		Whether you are in a suburban or urban area, an important fact to keep in mind is that most violent crimes take place between 6 p.m.

	Archived: Chapter 4: Outcomes for Youth with Disabilities in Urban Areas
		Youth with disabilities in urban areas were less likely than their peers in suburban and rural areas to graduate from high school, and were more likely to drop out of school.
		As shown in table 4.8, 50.8 percent of youth with disabilities in urban areas graduated from high school, compared to 66.9 percent of youth in suburban areas and 60.8 percent of youth in rural areas.
		The mean wage for employed youth in urban areas was $4.10 per hour, compared to $4.00 per hour for youth in suburban areas and $3.60 per hour for youth in rural areas.

	Profile of the Mid-Atlantic Region
		The projected annual population growth rate for the area for the years between 1995 and 2000 is 2.4%, about half the rate for the nation as a whole.
		While the mean number of schools per school district is the same for the suburban and rural areas (4.7% each), it is considerably higher for the urban districts (31.3%).
		The modal figure f or urban areas is less than half of what the comparable suburban school figure is. The modal figure for rural areas is just slightly higher than that for urban areas.

	The Semi-Urban Landscape
		Parking is free and finding a space is generally easier (and cheaper) than in urban areas, yet the congestion in the lots, the walking distance from parking space to destination, and the multi-deck parking facilities differentiate semi-urban landscapes from suburban landscapes.
		The suburban image is intensified by the viewer's perception of "empty" (sometimes wooded) space between and behind structures.
		Recognition of the semi-urban landscape as a logical outcome of competing urban and suburban influences imparts a perceptual integrity to the landscape in an area that lacks a ready definition.

	Prevalence of Smoking by Area of Residence -- Missouri, 1989-1991
		For this analysis, respondents' suburban or nonmetropolitan residence was determined by county of residence: respondents not living in counties composing a metropolitan statistical area (MSA) were categorized as residing in nonmetropolitan areas; respondents living in counties composing MSAs were categorized as residing in suburban areas.
		Overall, the prevalence of current smoking was higher among persons residing in the urban areas (32.4%) than in the suburban (24.8%) and nonmetropolitan areas (26.5%) Table_1.
		For the 18-34-year age group, the prevalence of current smoking in the urban areas (31.3%) was comparable to that in the suburban (27.8%) and nonmetropolitan (33.5%) areas.

	Indicators of the Condition and Use of Urban and Suburban Areas
		Urban and suburban areas are those places where most of the land is devoted to buildings, houses, roads, concrete, grassy lawns, and other elements of human use and construction.
		Two indicators—Area Of Urban and Suburban Lands and Patches of Forest, Grassland and Shrubland, and Wetlands—are reported on the basis of multistate regions adopted by the Census Bureau (Map10.1).
		Therefore, several indicators—Urban Heat Island and Species Status, among others—are presented on the basis of the “percent of all metropolitan areas”, which is intended to imply that the reporting will be focused on major cities and their surrounding areas.

	Development in the Areas Outside the villages
		Each suburban village center should be the focus of existing and proposed residential development that surrounds it.
		For those riparian areas already developed, the County should set criteria that will allow them to retain their riparian landscape quality and function and then initiate a riparian stewardship program in conjunction with landowners.
		This should be done by mapping the desired community edges throughout the suburban areas, identifying how existing open space can contribute to the community edge, what riparian areas can contribute to the edge, and what gaps remain to be acquired in order to complete the edge system.

	Lighting Up the Ecosystem
		The previously lit areas on the image that shrank back were classified as peri-urban (low-density suburban areas or farmland).
		However, it does classify urban areas as any region where there are 1000 people or more per square mile, and it takes a tally of who lives in these areas.
		The researchers could be fairly certain that any area classified as urban on their maps had at least a few subdivisions, strip malls, and parking lots.

	NOAA's National Ocean Service: Nonpoint Source Pollution
		Runoff from urban and suburban areas is a major origin of nonpoint source pollution.
		In suburban areas, the chemicals used in lawn care, and even pet wastes, often end up in runoff and contribute to nonpoint source pollution.
		That's why many municipalities, like those in suburban Maryland and Virginia that border the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay, are painting words like "It Ends Up In The Bay" in large bright letters across their storm drains.

	Redefining Urban and Suburban America (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The results from Census 2000 continue to disclose remarkable population trends in the nation’s cities and suburbs during the last decade of the twentieth century.
		The first volume in the Redefining Urban and Suburban America series focused on population growth and decline, and the dramatic changes occurring in the racial and ethnic makeup of cities and suburbs.
		As decentralization of population and economic activity continued in most metropolitan areas, once-suburban areas have transformed into new engines of metropolitan growth, or "boomburbs." At the same time, some traditional central cities have enjoyed a population renaissance, thanks to the appeal of "living downtown," often close to workplaces and entertainment.

	Pennsylvania Game Commission - State Wildlife Management Agency: Release #070-05
		Although white-tailed deer provide many Pennsylvanians countless hours of recreational opportunities and enjoyment, are important to the state's economy, and officially recognized as the Commonwealth's "state animal," they can wear out their welcome quickly when they begin stripping vegetation in backyards and becoming frequent obstacles on city streets.
		The Game Commission's strain to keep deer populations in check in urban and suburban areas of the state is epic and spans decades.
		The agency efforts have focused on reducing deer numbers in these areas to what could be called a "cultural carrying capacity." Cultural carrying capacity is not what the habitat can support but what the community can tolerate in terms of damage to backyard gardens, shrubs and landscaping, deer-vehicular collisions, and exposure to Lyme disease.
