Suburban areas have become more diverse and stratified in the United States, with a particularly striking increase in poverty, challenging theories that conceptualize poverty predominantly as a central city phenomenon. Little scholarly work has examined suburban poverty, however, and the small existing literature focuses primarily on inner–ring suburbs in the Northeast and Midwest and relies too much on the concentric zone model of metropolitan development. We use Census 2000 summary data to examine the prevalence and form, characteristics, and determinants of suburban poverty at the neighborhood and metropolitan levels across the entire country. We draw on more sophisticated ecological and place stratification perspectives and argue that suburban poverty manifests in more varied forms than the typical model and diverges in crucial respects from central city poverty. Our results identify a particularly distinctive racial profile for suburban poverty, associated especially with Hispanic residential location, with implications for trends in racial segregation as well.

Election Strategies

Subject US suburban politics and election campaiging ahead of the 2020 elections. Significance Both parties are gearing up for the 2020 elections next November, and much of the fight for votes will take place in the suburbs. Shifting demographics and economics are making US suburbs more diverse and varied, but simultaneously more segregated and unequal. Consequently, electoral politics in the suburbs are overall turning less favourable to the Republicans, making generalisations about suburban voters’ intentions in 2020 less well-founded. Impacts Democrats will need to campaign in traditionally blue Midwestern states that Trump won in 2016. Trump’s presence on the ballot will bolster core Republican support and encourage voters to turn out who otherwise might not. Federal and state programmes that now focus almost fully on inner-city poverty will need redirection to rising suburban poverty.

Hidden cities within a city? During the last decade there is a large trending literature concerning urban and suburban poverty concentration patterns. However, few are the cases where adequate data exist at a low spatial level, in order for scientists to explore that kind of socio-spatial phenomena. This paper tries to investigate the evolution of poverty within urban and suburban space, under a multidimensional framework, during a period of severe economic crisis and austerity measures. The metropolitan area of Athens is used as our case study, for which available data at a municipal level enable the calculation of the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) for the years 2006 and 2011. Using cluster analysis based on the MPI values, three groups of municipalities are derived within Athens. For each one of them, a mean MPI index is calculated and then decomposed. The results indicate that there is a clear spatial concentration of poverty in the west suburban areas of Athens. The urban core of the city is characterised by middle-income municipalities, whilst the north-east and the south-east suburban areas experience low-poverty indicators. Finally, the results suggest that during the economic crisis period poor areas were affected the most.

O presente trabalho visa compreender a natureza e suas ações no cotidiano urbano de Parnaíba, cidade do litoral do Piauí, nos anos 1970. Buscamos em meio às notícias dos periódicos locais o retrato das enchentes ocorridas no recorte em questão, bem como suas ações e problemas causados para os munícipes. Com isso, fazem parte do nosso corpus documental três jornais que circulavam em Parnaíba naqueles anos, Folha do Litoral, Norte do Piauí e Jornal Inovação. Para além, foram utilizadas ainda o anuário Almanaque da Parnaíba e o livro de memórias Cada rua, uma história, do jornalista e escritor Caio Passos (1982).*This paper aims to understand the nature and its actions in the urban daily life of Parnaíba, a seaside town in the state of Piauí, in the 1970’s.
