1. A derisive term for older suburbs that are declining into poverty. The word is a combination of "Slum" and "Suburbia." 2. The bleak future for many aging American suburbs. 3. What happens when people refuse to take [urban planning] seriously. Slumburbia is almost always found in large metro areas. As middle-class residents move farther and farther away from the urban core, the closer-in suburbs start to deteriorate. Property values fall leading to reduced local tax revenue, decreased public services, declining schools and increasing crime, especially gang activity. This [vicious circle] continues for years until the suburb itself is no longer distinguishable from the large city it borders. Examples of Slumburbia: Hamtramck, Michigan; Somerville, [Massachusetts]; Camden, New Jersey; and Compton, California.
