Examines the contribution of various-sized places and rural areas to aggregate United States and nonmetropolitan change from 1950 to 1980 using decennial census data. Shows that rural areas were growing faster than urban areas during the 1970s, accounting for over 80 percent of aggregate nonmetropolitan change. (NEC)

Hugo, G. J.; Smailes, P. J. – Journal of Rural Studies, 1992
Using a case study and surveys, assesses the major changes that have occurred in population trends within the nonmetropolitan sector of Australia, and South Australia in particular. Appears that a reversal in the long-standing pattern of increasing concentration of the population in large urban settings is continuing but at a slower pace than in…

Cromartie, John B. – Rural America, 2001
Analysis of annual county-level migration estimates indicates that in recent decades, migrants to the rural South have persistently favored areas with specific attractions: urban access, high-tech jobs, and favorable climates. As migrants are younger and better educated than the overall population, such patterns exacerbate rural development…

In the West it was found that: (1) population increased 6.9 percent with…

Krout, John A. – 1978
To further an explanation of the post-1970 United States demographic phenomenon of increased population for non-metropolitan areas, the relationship of 3 ecological phenomena to non-metropolitan net migration rates between the 1960's and the 1970's is examined for a random stratified sample of 380 United States non-metropolitan counties (primarily…

Inmigration to Maine was found to have altered population distribution, increased the proportion of younger, highly educated persons, and provided a pool of professional/managerial persons for community involvement. Data gathered from 417 persons moving into Maine during the July through December period of either 1980 or 1983 showed inmigrants to…
