dc.description	The housing phenomenon known as “exurbia” is accelerating, and with this growth comes new challenges for state and local governments. Exurbs are low-density neighborhoods in rural areas within commuting distance of major cities. These exurbs appeal to home buyers for several reasons: the areas are less crowded, offer better-rated schools, and boast more property and larger houses for lower prices than can be found in the suburbs or inner cities. As Texas’ exurb communities continue to grow at a rapid pace, it is important to understand the infrastructure consequences of such fast growth in rural areas, so policymakers can anticipate and respond to new challenges that may arise (or have already arisen).	en_US
