Inner suburb

Nassau County, Long Island is emblematic of continuous sprawl in an inner suburb of New York City, United States.

An inner suburb is a suburban community central to a large city, or at the inner city and central business district.[clarification needed] The urban density is usually lower than the inner city or central business district, but higher than that of the city's rural–urban fringe, or exurbs.[1]
