US Hispanics feel pull of suburbs

For years, the center of Chicago's large and fast-growing Hispanic community was 26th Street, a mile-and-a-half strip of ethnic grocers, restaurants, bookstores and boutiques in a neighborhood called Little Village.

But that is changing. In a trend being repeated across the United States, Latino immigrants are eschewing their historic urban enclaves and moving out to the suburbs in some cases as soon as they enter the country. In the process, they're both living out the American dream and discovering its limits.

Two forces are driving the change, said Marta Tienda, a professor of sociology and public affairs at Princeton University.
