Abstract: This paper examines economic well-being across types of rural communities in Israel and over time, and identifies the determinants of well-being. While income per-capita of the rural population went down significantly between 1983 and 1995, there were improvements in housing density and automobile ownership. Well-being seems to be higher in communities in which the population is larger and more educated, and lower in more remote communities and those with more dependants.
