| 2. Second Cities are less-densely populated than urban areas. While similar to suburbs in their densities, second cities are the population centers | |||||||||||||
| of their surrounding communities. As such, many are concentrated within America’s larger towns and smaller cities. This class also includes thousands | |||||||||||||
| of satellite cities, which are higher-density suburbs encircling major metropolitan centers. | |||||||||||||
