Boston's Older Cities Rebound

"Revere is one of four small, blue-collar cities north of Boston that, after years of decline, saw major population growth in the last decade, according to new census data.... The major draw for all the newcomers was the old and relatively inexpensive housing stock in those cities - a hidden asset that drew not only immigrants in service jobs but also professionals priced out of the housing market in Boston, Cambridge, and Somerville."
