It would be interesting to see how age factors into this spread. During this study's timeframe at least, older people have had more opportunity to accrue wealth and have children (who have also had more time to go to college). In my anecdotal experience, most of the urban influx has been from younger people.
- ghaff 8y agoThe most detailed data I’ve run across in recent years suggests the urbanization trend is mostly about college educated 18-35 year olds moving to a relative handful of dense urban cores. (Though anecdotally the same thing is happening on a smaller scale in many cities that have small gentrified cores.)
