Personally, I never really use the term "exurb." If a city/town/village/whatever is anchored around a "major city," then it is that city's suburb. Inner, outer, whatever; it's a suburb. I appreciate the clarity that suburb vs. exurb provides some people, however. Additionally, there is probably a cutoff for me where at a certain point I feel silly calling somewhere a suburb due to the cultural connotations the word has. For example, West Des Moines is absolutely a suburb of Des Moines, but I feel kind of goofy calling Morton a "suburb" of Peoria, because it has more of a small town feel (even though, objectively, Morton really IS a "suburb" of Peoria).
