“…Based on the findings and discussions, it was identified that suburban neighbourhoods decline occurred in older suburbs of inner-ring suburban Buffalo Metropolitan Area. This study also showed a pattern of decline in inner-suburban neighborhoods of BMA, just as mentioned in previous studies of the decline of older suburbs or inner-ring suburbs in metropolitan America (Hanlon, 2008(Hanlon, , 2010Short et al, 2007). This also followed the patterns of suburban growth and decline (Lucy & Phillips, 1997, 2001.…”

“…Another way of framing the neighbourhood hardships, neighbourhoods change, and their variability was by using the lens of social inequity. Saleh (2020) relates neighbourhood change to the spatial inequity to access quality education in various suburban neighbourhoods. Neighbourhood change leads to spatial inequity of access to quality basic education between inner suburban neighbourhoods and outer suburban neighbourhoods.…”

Neighbourhoods in urban and suburban areas experienced changes in terms of physical, social, economic, and demographics. Neighbourhood Hardship Index (NHI) had been used to measure neighbourhood socio-economic condition, using various census variables. Suburban neighbourhoods which underwent a change lead to stratification into striving outer suburbs and declining inner suburbs. The context of this study was suburban neighbourhoods in Buffalo Metropolitan Area (BMA), New York. This paper aimed at highlighting spatial variability of neighbourhood change in innerand outer-suburban neighbourhoods of BMA between 2010-2015. This study examined factors that significantly contribute to neighbourhood change. Also, this study examined whether there a difference in the change of neighbourhood hardship index between innerand outer-suburban neighbourhoods. Composite NHI was developed from economic, demographic, and housing variables. Neighbourhood change was measured by comparing the composite NHI 2010 with that of 2015. The findings depicted a variation of change in hardships index across suburban neighbourhoods. Neighbourhoods with higher hardship index were primarily located in inner suburbs. Policy implications call for concerted efforts to tackle the decline in the economy, education, demography to promote equity across neighbourhoods in suburban areas.
