From 2009 to 2011, it seemed that Americans began to increasingly prefer large metropolitan areas as their habitat. However, the latest published census data for 2015 year confirm that the indicators at the turn of the decades were anomalous phenomenon.

US residents again, as in all recent decades, are actively drawn to the suburbs - to places that are not so populated, and where real estate prices are significantly cheaper than in metropolitan areas. The absolute leader is the state of Texas.
