Why did the suburbs tend to have little diversity?

Suburbs often tended to have little diversity due to historical factors such as redlining and discriminatory housing policies that restricted access to housing for certain racial and ethnic groups. Economic factors also played a role, as suburban developments were typically more expensive and attracted predominantly middle-class families. Additionally, social dynamics, such as preference for homogeneity and the desire for community cohesion, further reinforced this lack of diversity in suburban areas. Consequently, these factors combined to create environments that lacked significant multicultural representation.
