Content: But the total share of the population living in suburbs has doubled, from 23 percent in 1950 to 46 percent in 1990. In fact, America is much more suburban now than in the 1950s.

Stilgoe traces suburb to Chaucer's 14th-century Canterbury Tales: " Where dwelle ye, if it to telle be? . . . ' In the suburbs of a toun,' quod he."
