Rapid suburbanization is changing the face of urban America. Despite voluminous literature on the relationship between suburbanization and economic segregation, whether or not the current suburban development patterns are significant contributors to the changes in economic segregation remains an open empirical question. Using U.S. Census and PUMS data, this research directly examines this empirical question by conducting a comprehensive analysis for all metropolitan areas for the last decade. Empirical findings demonstrate economic segregation, as measured by the Neighborhood Sorting Index, decreased significantly for all racial and ethnic groups during the 1990s, reversing the earlier increasing trend from 1970 to 1990. Instead of constructing a comprehensive definition or a composite index, this research identifies six specific indicators to characterize the contemporary suburbanization patterns and tests their effects on economic segregation by multiple series of cross-sectional regressions and first-difference, fixed-effects estimations. These indicators of suburbanization are: the urban density gradient, the population density, the relatively rapid growth of the periphery, the homogeneity of new growth, the exclusivity of local zoning, and the inaccessibility of jobs. The empirical results essentially suggested that as a group, the contemporary suburbanization patterns made a difference on the changes in economic segregation, although the individual effect of each indicator was not robust.
