| Abstract: | The location of households within metropolitan areas has been a topic of interest for many decades. It has been receiving more attention by researchers recently because of the increasing attractiveness of many cities in the United States to certain types of households and to certain types of jobs. This study considers whether 15 large cities and the boroughs of New York City are attractive to families with school‐age children, especially those with college‐educated parents. It is shown that overall more affluent and educated families with school‐age children are less likely to live in many large central cities with a few important exceptions. |
