No 413401, Staff Papers from University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Department of Agricultural Economics

Abstract: The relative ability of rural communities to pay for sewer and water systems was analyzed. It was found that median household income, as currently used for many grant programs, is a poor measure of relative need. An alternative approach using measures of wealth and income distribution was developed.
