Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1992, vol. 08, issue 3

Abstract: Population growth in nonmetro counties adjacent to metro counties was influenced by three factors in the 1980's. Urban spillover—where the metro county fared well, so too, generally, did the adjacent county. Size of metro county—the population of nonmetro counties adjacent to large metro counties (more than 1 million population) grew faster than the population of other nonmetro counties. Region—nonmetro adjacent counties in the West experienced high population growth.
