... America's suburbs are now more likely to be home to minorities, the poor and a rapidly growing older population ...

Ten states, led by Arizona, surpass the nation in a "cultural generation gap" in which the senior populations are disproportionately white and children are mostly minority.

... recommendations: affordable housing and social services for older people in the suburbs; better transit systems to link cities and suburbs; and a new federal Office of New Americans to serve the education and citizenship needs of the rapidly growing immigrant community.
And those older property owners really don't like paying the property taxes that support schools for the young'uns. Hence the effects of limitations on taxes such as California's Proposition 13, which has resulted in a lowering of the standard of pulbic education there. A generation or so ago it was about the best in the country.
