The Role of Annexation in the Growth of American Suburbs

Abstract

The effects of annexation and other structural variables on suburban population growth between 1960 and 1970 are explored for a sample of 825 American suburbs which are greater than 10,000 in population size. Annexation was found to play a significant role in suburban population growth, but migration and natural increase play more substantial roles. As expected, size and region had significant impacts on suburban annexation, but density and socioeconomic status had no effects on annexation.
