Abstract

Four composite indexes of social well-being for 3,097 U.S. counties were constructed: socioeconomic, health, and family status, and alienation. National patterns of these composites are depicted by U. S. county maps and through mean index scores of counties grouped by metro-nonmetro status and rural-urban orientation. Counties and metro-nonmetro county groups vary, as do geographic regions, in their basic patterns and degrees of well-being, indicating that social and economic development programs should be tailored to the needs of each region or type of county.
