What Makes a Place Rural?
- Authors
Nelson, Garrett Dash
- Abstract
The article focuses on the practical-minded demographers of the Census Bureau, for instance, can not settle on a single answer about where exactly to find rural America. Topics include that many people think of a kind of political geography, a red-and-blue map of America, as offering a shorthand for the practical ramifications; mentions some interesting attempts at slicing the statistics have suggested more complicated portraits of rurality; and also mentions that density, population, land use, morphology, economic structure, and demographic composition leave an unsatisfactory final conclusion about rurality.
