As a result, many community institutions have migrated out of central cities as well. Lowell-area institutions, for example, can now be found in outlying locales such as Chelmsford and Andover, and the Springfield community includes a church in suburban Indian Orchard.
These same demographic trends have also brought about the disintegration or consolidation of some smaller communities and their institutions.
