I noticed something similar as well, especially in Houston, where the eastern side is much more urban, and the western side is where the expansion has been and is less urban and contains more neighborhoods, smaller grocery stores, etc.

Interesting - typically I would associate "urban" with smaller grocery stores.

i.e. there are 8 grocery stores within a few minutes walk, but they are all smaller - some just sell produce, others are smaller versions of suburban grocery stores.
