Town and Country in a Florida Rural County in the Late 19th Century: Some Population and Household Comparisons

Agresti, Barbara F.

Rural Sociology, 42, 4, 556-68, W 77

Comparisons of the demographic and household characteristics of the rural and village white population of Walton County, Florida, in 1885 show that rural households were more often extended, while village households were more likely to contain boarders or servants. In addition, rural households contained more children than village households. (Author/NQ)
