The main reasons from your list are: a lack of adequate housing in crowded cities and the rise of affordable automobiles.
Explanation: Mass production of cars (e.g., the Model T) and better roads made daily commuting feasible, so people could live farther from work. Cities were also crowded with housing shortages and poor sanitary conditions, pushing families to seek single‑family homes outside the core. By contrast, most jobs were still concentrated in cities in the 1920s (not yet a major suburban-job shift), and while some families perceived suburban schools as better, that was a secondary factor rather than a primary cause.
