A new word I learned during MSNBC's coverage last night - "exurb"

Exurbs - The expression exurb (for "extra-urban") was coined by Auguste Comte Spectorsky in his 1955 book The Exurbanites to describe the ring of prosperous communities beyond the suburbs that are commuter towns for an urban area.
Multiple times a liberal talking head would identify Trump support coming from the exurbs. I've never heard that word, let alone heard it in political/election discussion. Am I the only one caught off guard by this "new" phrasing/categorization?

Exurbs is a common term.

Is it a common term for political/election discussion? I've been a political junkie since ~'07 and never heard it before.

What is the difference between that and a suburb?
Are all exurbs suburbs but not all suburbs are exurbs?

I guess exurbs are outside the suburbs?
