The contribution of continual suburban residential development to the structure of metropolitan inequality has long been recognized, however there has been little direct research on new house construction in recent years. In this dissertation, I argue that shifts in the population buying new houses from 1960 to 2000 increased the stratifying impact of suburban growth over time. This inquiry was motivated by the observation that new houses became markedly larger at the end of the 20<super>th</super> century, a key signal of possible change in the underlying stratification dynamics.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The contribution of continual suburban residential development to the structure of metropolitan inequality has long been recognized, however there has been little direct research on new house construction in recent years. In this dissertation, I argue that shifts in the population buying new houses from 1960 to 2000 increased the stratifying impact of suburban growth over time. This inquiry was motivated by the observation that new houses became markedly larger at the end of the 20<super>th</super> century, a key signal of possible change in the underlying stratification dynamics.
520 $a While the increasing size of new houses has received little study, two competing explanations for the trend have surfaced in the social science literature. Both credit a shifting income composition of demand, but identify different mechanisms of change. The first, “changing tastes,” argues that there was a broadening demand for big houses across income; while the second, “changing fates,” argues that there was a narrowing demand for new houses across income. I develop an empirical test for these competing hypotheses and find that the changing fates explanation receives the most support. The changing income composition of demand for new houses occurred between successive cohorts of home owners at all ages, but was particularly pronounced among those younger than age 45. Despite the support for the changing fates explanations, I also find evidence for a role for tastes and argue that the two processes may interact in important ways. In the last analysis, I find that the increasing dominance of the affluent among new houses buyers contributed to the growing residential segregation of the affluent from lower income groups. At various points, I use microdata and tract-level data from the <italic>U.S. Census of Population and Housing</italic> for 1960–2000 and data from the <italic>American Housing Survey</italic> for 1999, and employ graphical cohort-longitudinal methods, regression methods, and several measures of spatial segregation. This work illustrates how growing income inequality has been translated into further inequities in other social arenas, and demonstrates that a proper understanding of the new inequality requires attention to those benefiting from it, not only to those left behind.
