Researchers have documented the fact that suburbanites and exurbanites have no substantial differences anymore (e.g., A. C. Nelson and T. W. Sanchez, "Exurban and Suburban Households," Journal of Housing Research 8, no. 2, pp. 249-276), and that polynucleated landscapes exist within which households maximize their space and location utility recognizing that there are many Jobs in the fringe areas.
