在美国中心城市，超过19%的人是穷人。在郊区，只有7.5%的人生活在贫困中。土地需求的收入弹性太低，城市贫困不可能来自富人想住在土地便宜的地方（城市贫困的传统解释）。土地的收入弹性之所以存在，只是因为富人不愿意住公寓，而这种弹性仍然太低，无法解释穷人的城市化。贫困的城市化主要来自于中心城市更好的公共交通。(C) 2007爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
More than 19 percent of people in American central cities are poor. In suburbs, just 7.5 percent of people live in poverty. The income elasticity of demand for land is too low for urban poverty to come from wealthy individuals' wanting to live where land is cheap (the traditional explanation of urban poverty). A significant income elasticity for land exists only because the rich eschew apartment living, and that elasticity is still too low to explain the poor's urbanization. The urbanization of poverty comes mainly from better access to public transportation in central cities. (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
