The most coherent critique, IMO, is that this is a very industrial-northeast focused definition of a suburb. There are many Sun Belt metros where the city-limits are basically coterminous with the whole urbanized area, so we would have few no 'san antonio suburbs' — PolitiTweet.org

Of course, every definition has shortcomings. And depending on the purpose, another may be more appropriate. But if I get one single, national standard definition of a 'suburb' for polling, I think something like this is most consistent with how it's used politically — PolitiTweet.org

The way around it is to use a density/development based definition, which would make almost all the Sun Belt metros 'suburban.' I think this vision has merit and it also correlates well with vote choice. — PolitiTweet.org
