Dear devildog7654,
The relatively most up-to-date official data on this topic derives
from the 2000 Federal Census; newer data has unfortunately not been
made available yet. But it is unlikely that the figures have changed
significantly. According to the 2000 Census, this is where Americans
lived (suburbs belong to the "Urban" category):
