I wouldn't call the vast number of families who live in the suburbs a small minority.[/quote]

Montgomery County has urban areas. And it has close-in suburbs. And it has way-out-there suburbs.[b] People increasingly want to live in close-in areas, which is why the close-in areas are expensive[/b].[/quote]

Exactly

Again, nothing new. Always has  been the case. Andta lot of families make sacrifices that make the most sense for them, hence lots of people are still moving further out. [/quote]
Not always... not too long ago, MCPS closed schools closer in as families moved out to the 'burbs for more room.[b] Now, probably due to commute time and/or people wanting "walkability", people are wanting to move closer in.[/b]  And this is why now the outer burb schools are not as crowded, too.

There was an article on this with a map showing which schools closed during the 80s/90s.[/quote]

I remember the 60s and 70s too! However, there have been many more articles about the great inversion. [b]More and more people are abandoning the burbs for more urban living[/b]. This is why the population of DC is up over 40% in recent years and the changes in demand are effecting the market now and will impact schools in the coming years.[/quote]
That's what I stated.

Outer burb are over capacity but probably not nearly as much as closer in.

Closed schools Appendix I4  - note the number of closed schools closer in
Over capacity by cluster Appendix D4 - note that the schools with the *most* over capacity are closer in -- exception is Clarksburg.[/quote]
