Abstract: Between 1980 and 1990, urban and suburban poverty rates grew further apart within US metropolitan areas and at an accelerating rate for those cities with the greatest concentrations of metropolitan poverty. This study measures the effects of changes in social, demographic, economic and structural characteristics of metropolitan areas on the changes in metropolitan poverty rates and in the spatial concentration of that poverty in their central cities.
