  Abstract

The determinants of whether households live in a central city or a suburb of a central city in the United States are examined. Particular attention is given to the relationship between college education and household location. It is shown that college education increases the probability that non-Hispanic white households live in central cities of relatively large metropolitan areas. The college education relationship with city location is shown to be negative for minority households.

Keywords: household; location; education.
