Rural Consumers Go to Town with Retail Dollars

H. Frederick Gale

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1995, vol. 11, issue 01

Abstract: Residents of small rural communities make more than half of their retail purchases in large towns and cities that attract retail trade from the surrounding area. The interdependence among different sizes of communities resulting from retail trade patterns means that income received by rural residents has economic impacts that spill over into trade center towns.
