Question: 174
9. In comparison to urban centers, suburbs tend to have:
- A. larger racial and ethnic minority populations.
- B. higher rates of poverty.
- C. larger high- and middle-class populations.
- D. higher rates of crime and homicide.
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Suburbs tend to have larger high- and middle-class populations than urban centers; urban centers tend to have larger low-socioeconomic status populations than suburbs. This is due, in part, to the increased mobility seen in high- and middle-class populations, which permits their migration into the suburbs.
