The suburban housing market: the effects of city and suburban job growth

Richard Voith

Business Review, 1996, issue Nov, 13-25

Abstract: How does the location of new jobs in a metropolitan area affect the suburban housing market? Does it matter whether job growth occurs in the city or in the suburbs? And who, if anyone, benefits from job growth? Dick Voith takes a look at housing prices and construction rates in some Philadelphia suburbs to determine the impact of employment growth on the value of real estate assets.
