For example, NYC vs NY state, Philadelphia vs Pennsylvania, Boston vs Massachusetts..
There are a few exceptions like San Francisco...but generally, income in cities tend to be lower than their suburbs
I would think the opposite would be true since cities are the business centers?
Because the successful people with good paying jobs generally reside in the suburbs so they can have a family, yard, a big house and more stuff. yea some professional people live in the city, but usually the cities are inhabited by lower class people like in the ghettos, and people who are single, like to party and don't need to make as much money as people who have to support their families.

Which also can be stated in that cities have a wider range of people living within their city limits versus suburbs, which tend to be more homogeneous in terms of economics and many times, ethnically/racially.

There are plenty of Suburbs in the Bay Area with much higher incomes than SF, just as there are others with lower incomes.
Not the case in Connecticut, where the suburbs (Greenwich, Avon, New Canaan, Darien, etc) in many cases have incomes 10x that of the cities (New Haven, Hartford, Norwalk, Bridgeport).

This phenomenon has only existed for approximately the last 50 years in our nation's history. It is a result of urban renewal, white flight, freeway development, decentralization of the workplace and retail areas, and federal and local economic policies favoring suburban investment at the expense of the city.

True.
Outside the US, the inner cities are the richest areas and the suburbs usually are poorer. The term "suburb" in many foreign countries has a negative connotation.

The US especially the east coast and midwest have basically been using their cities as social service repositories for the past 60 years.
