Prof. Orfield Quoted on MinnPost.com on New Study on Suburban Poverty
Professor Myron Orfield was quoted on MinnPost.com on a new Brooking Institutions study showing growing suburban poverty. Orfield said that while suburbs are getting poorer, "It's not all of them. It tends to be the older suburbs, suburbs not as strong financially, suburbs built for middle-income people, not wealthy people." Orfield is a non-resident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington.
