This report studies the largest 50 metropolitan areas in the U.S. to create a typology of the racial diversity of suburbs. It identifies four types: diverse, predominantly non-white, predominantly white, and exurbs. The opportunities and challenges, including resegregation and economic decline, are discussed, as well as strategies to achieve integrated suburbs.
