Beale, Calvin L. – 1976
Late in 1973 it became evident that the trend of population growth in the U.S. had turned toward rural and small town areas. Growth and migration rates for metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas were compared. Counties were classified by certain basic functional characteristics, and the trend was examined in those that were dominated by some…

[Beale, Calvin L.] – 1969
A total of 19 charts, each with a brief narrative interpretation, present information on major features of population trends in the United States. Residents of 212 metropolitan areas (central cities with population of 50,000 or more) equalled 64 percent of the population of the U.S. in 1968. The distribution of the population differed greatly by…

Moore, Dan E. – 1978
According to the results of an in-depth study of the process of population change in New York State, the less densely settled an area, the more likely it is to grow in the 1970's. This is more evidence of the recent major U.S. demographic phenomenon of a revival of population growth in non-metropolitan areas. Population data for the sixty-two…

Pickard, Jerome – Appalachia, 1981
Largely from immigration, Appalachian population grew by over 2,000,000 from 1970 to 1980, a rate of 11.1 percent. Statistical tables give state, local development district, regional and county-group population figures for 13 Appalachian states. A map and bar graphs show rate of population change by county, region and state. (NEC)

Johnson, Kenneth M. – Rural Sociology, 1989
Summarizes population redistribution trends in nonmetropolitan areas between 1980 and 1987. Examines the contribution of net migration and natural increase to rural growth, the change in counties based on their involvement in the 1970s population turnaround, and the impact of variables typically associated with population change. Contains 27…

Garkovich, Lorraine – 1989
The shift from a predominantly rural American society to one where three-quarters of the people reside in urban areas has been largely the result of migration. Migration has been and will continue to be the key population process in rural America. The relationship between migration and the other components of population change, and their joint…

Fuguitt, Glenn V.; And Others – 1979
Growth in nonmetropolitan areas is expected to cause some of the most important land use debates of the 1980's. This volume is intended to provide professionals in the land use field with a better understanding of the extent and nature of population change in nonmetropolitan areas, the type of development associated with this change, and the…

Beale, Calvin L.; Fuguitt, Glenn V. – 1985
All through the 1970-1980 decade, growth of population took place in the rural and small town areas of the United States where very little had occurred in earlier recent decades. In general, the trend can be viewed as one that was primarily socially motivated but facilitated by improved rural economic conditions. By contrast, in the first 3 years…

Long, Larry H.; DeAre, Diana – 1980
An unexpected demographic development in the United States in the 1970's was the shift of nonmetropolitan areas to net inmigration, reversing a 70-year trend. Using the 1970 definition of metropolitan, the percent of the population living in metropolitan areas fell from 69% in 1970 to 67.8% in 1978. No easily identifiable set of reasons explained…
