"Low Density Is the Attraction"
The Census Bureau reports that the nation's fastest growing counties continue to be rural and suburban. People seem to want "big yards and open spaces, even if that means a long commute," says this Associated Press article.
“I think low density is the attraction,” said William Frey, a demographer with the Brookings Institution. “People would rather make a long commute and have a big yard and a big house.” The article points out that jobs are moving outward too.
Wendell Cox's analysis of the numbers is mentioned below (Demographia, March 21st).
