The Comparative Guide to American Suburbs - Current Year or Most Recent Edition.

This completely updated reference focuses on the individual and the suburban communities within each of the 50 largest U.S. metropolitan areas. You'll find profiles of over 1,800 Suburban Communities with a 10,000 + population.

While there are a variety of sources that present statistics for metropolitan areas or for major cities, few have attempted to give comparative data on individual suburbs.

The Comparative Guide to American Suburbs is arranged alphabetically by metropolitan area. Each metropolitan area section begins with metro area statistics, a listing of the included counties and a listing of the Suburban Communities by county.

Following the introduction for each metropolitan area, Suburban Community profiles are arranged alphabetically by community name.

Suburban Community profiles contain:

Name and Name Origin

Housing - New housing permits with rankings & median home prices with rankings

The section for each metropolitan area concludes with a Ranking Table that compares the Suburban Communities in six critical indicators: Per Capita Income, Unemployment Rate, Violent and Property Crime Rates, new Housing Permits and Median Home Prices.
