“…Research indicates that immigrants—as well as native-born racial/ethnic minorities—are increasingly living in suburbs and selecting destinations outside of gateway cities (Cheng 2013; Frey 2015; Lichter and Johnson 2006; Singer, Hardwick, and Brettell 2008; Wen, Lauderdale, and Kandula 2009). Simultaneously, non-Hispanic whites are returning to the city, often in connection with gentrification processes (Banks 2000; E. S. Brown 2017).…”

We examine the political position of the suburbs relative to the city by focusing on attitudes toward immigrants. Using 22 years of survey data for the Houston area, this paper addresses three questions. First, how has the attitudinal position of the suburbs relative to the city changed over time? Second, does the city-suburb distinction differ depending on the respondent’s race/ethnicity? Finally, do these results differ depending on the content of the question? Multivariate results indicate an overall increase in positive attitudes, but the increase is slower in the suburbs relative to the city. The resulting divergence is driven exclusively by non-Hispanic whites and is only evident when focusing on more contentious questions regarding immigrants in the United States. Our results suggest a persistent suburban cultural context despite recent demographic shifts, and they highlight the multidimensional nature of the (racialized) attitudes toward immigrants held by non-Hispanic whites in the United States.
