Growth of Suburbs and Shifting American Economy
Sociologists study suburban growth as mass migration from cities and farms continues. Since World War II suburban population surged from 21 million in 1947 to 30 million now, with 40 million expected by 1960, broadening beyond upper income brackets to a thriving mass market. Big retailers expanded from 40 New York area branches in 1946 to 90, extending into Long Island, Westchester, Connecticut and New Jersey. Suburban shoppers value ample parking and convenient access, supporting thriving shopping centers and continued suburban trade growth.
