Suburbs are old news, everyone's moving to far-flung exurbs now

Exurbs, or communities on the outskirts of metro areas, have become the fastest-growing regions in the US, spurred by the pandemic. With housing costs soaring, many are moving farther from cities, like Polk County, Florida, where 30,000 people relocated last year. Remote work and affordability are key drivers, but the shift is reshaping communities, making them wealthier, diverse, and pushing exurbs further out.
