MetroTrends has the latest information on social and economic trends in urban America with analyses on what they mean for workers, families, businesses, and neighborhoods. The aim is to fuel evidence-based debate about the nationwide impacts of the recession and recovery, critical differences in metropolitan regions, and persistent or emerging disparities among population groups.
