Farm Size and Community Quality: Arvin and Dinuba Revisited

Abstract

A comparative analysis of Arvin and Dinuba. California, suggests that many factors besides differences in farm size contributed to Arvin's retarded community development. Rather than being closely matched communities, the two towns had developed within significantly different economic, demographic, and geographic settings. Goldschmidt's hypothesis that large farms accounted for differences in community quality may still be correct; but, because of methodological flaws, his study of Arvin and Dinuba offers little support for this assertion.
