Abstract: This article provides additional evidence for the redistribution of population to the rural-urban fringe and identifies those types of municipalities that experienced the greatest growth during the 1970s. Furthermore, it finds that the factors that account for population growth at the rural—urban fringe are not only those associated with suburbanization, but also those associated with nonmetropolitan growth. It also demonstrates that population growth at the rural—urban fringe varies not only by municipal type but also by race. These observations have a number of important implications for the design and administration of programs and policies affecting rural—urban fringe communities.
