  • Title: Recent population trends in nonmetropolitan cities and villages: from the turnaround, through reversal, to the rebound.
    Author: Fuguitt GV, Beale CL, Fulton JA, Gibson RM.
    Journal: Res Rural Sociol Dev; 1998; 7():1-21. PubMed ID: 12294791.
    Abstract:
    "The purpose of this study is to track and contrast the patterns of local concentration and deconcentration in nonmetropolitan America between 1950 and 1996. We consider the growth of places by initial size as well as the growth of population living in the countryside or in unincorporated hamlets.... To determine how widespread and consistent the trends are, we compare patterns of growth by nearness to metropolitan areas, and by region of the country. We also examine differences among a subset of nonmetropolitan places distinguished by the primary socioeconomic character of their county. Using a detailed data file from the 1990 census, we are able to give some consideration to commuting."
