Orfield distinguishes among six types of suburbs - three of which he considers to be at risk.
He named the three types of at-risk suburbs: at-risk segregated communities, at-risk older
communities and at-risk low-density communities. He named the three other types as
bedroom-developing communities, affluent job centres and very affluent job centres. Each
type of suburb faces some challenges, but the nature of the challenges and their severity are
quite different.
