title: Explaining the postwar suburbanization of population in the United States: the role of income.
abstract: The author uses data on household heads from the Public Use Sample of the 1950 U.S. census to analyze the relationship between household income and the probability of suburban residence.  The results indicate that "slightly less than half of population suburbanization between 1950 and 1980 can be attributed to rising household incomes."
