renters will live
closer to the CBD than homeowners
Concentric Zone Model
the higher and lower income
homeowners will not live in the same sector
Sector model
people with similar ethnic/racial
backgrounds will live near one another
Multiple nuclei model
families with children are especially attracted to the suburbs
Galactic/peripheral
chicago
concentric and sector model
LA, Houston
