Rural Consumer Markets

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 2000, vol. 15, issue 01

Abstract: One out of every nine Americans lives in a rural consumer market. The aver- age rural market has fewer retail businesses and provides more limited shop- ping opportunities than the average urban market. However, there is a wide range in the number of different businesses in rural markets, and a majority of rural consumers live in well-served markets with many kinds of stores and services.
