Shifting Income Patterns: Implications for Nonmetro America

Robert A. Hoppe

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1987, vol. 03, issue 2

Abstract: Income has become somewhat more concentrated among upper income families since 1967 and growth of total income has slowed since 1973. Both trends suggest a widening income gap between metro and nonmetro areas because nonmetro areas have a higher proportion of low-income families and slower income growth.
