Exurbs Emerge as America's Fastest-Growing Communities

There were more exurbs among the nation’s fastest-growing places in 2023 than in 2019.

The U.S. Census Bureau does not define the term “exurb.” But it thinks of them “as far outer suburbs of metro areas, and they often have a mix of urban and rural character.”

Exurbs are attracting attention now because they are among the nation’s fastest-growing communities, according to Census data, even though many are located “30, 40 and even more than 60 miles away from the largest city’s downtown.”
