Suburban Cities with both rich and poor sectors (neighborhoods, DMV)

[arr430]

Can you name any suburban cities that have significant neighborhoods that are both rich and poor? I'm drawing a blank, maybe you can fill some in.

Not sure whether you mean large suburbs of cities, or cities that are often described as "suburban." The latter certainly have rich and poor areas.

I’m not sure what constitutes “poor” so I want to be careful there.

But Marietta, GA is one such example. If you compare the 30060, and the 30062 zip codes as one such instance.

I’m sure there are so many more

It means districts that are relatively affluent and relatively depressed, in proportion to the metro

By "suburb" I mean a municipal entity that primarily grew as a result of expansion of the core city.

I don't think I would consider Marietta, which was a complex city of independent establishment, character and growth long before Atlanta metro grew out far enough to influence it.,

The Greater Katy area and many Texas suburbs in general because of their physical size have poorer and richer sides (North Katy borders on lower middle class- 77449 being the main zip code and to a lesser extent 77084 and 77493 (which is wealthier and newer) and South Katy, 77494, 77450 and to some extent 77094. The most dramatic I've seen is probably Irving, with South Irving being lower middle class, and North Irving being very upper middle class. I'm sure theirs's much worse ones out there.

Missouri City and Garland in Texas.

does a place that's an urban satellite city count?

Gaithersburg, MD comes to mind in DMV region - the area south/west of I-270, i.e. Kentlands/Lakelands, is definitely richer than the area north/east of I-270, especially that area around Lakeforest Mall.

If you count Arlington VA as a "suburb" there are definitely rich and poor sector - i.e. the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor is definitely more well off than the area around Columbia Pike. Arlington Blvd is the dividing line in general (North of it is more well off, south of it, not so much).

Independence, Missouri, suburb of KC.
