Same (age) demo as you. Among my friends and expanded co-worker circle, folks with kids split ~50/50 "would prefer urban"/"would prefer suburban or country". 100% are suburban. Deciding factors? Proximity to family (all 'burbs) and/or school quality. You live in the city if you're too poor to live where the good schools are, or you're so rich you can afford very high housing costs for a good in-the-city neighborhood plus tuition for private school. Out in the country, all the schools are bad—not inner-city bad, but bad. That leaves the 'burbs. [EDIT] I take back the 100%: a few former co-workers without kids are urban-dwellers, and exactly one who took a chance on the charter school lottery and would surely have moved out if it'd gone the wrong way.
