Abstract

Total personal income grew 25 percent faster in nonmetro counties than in metro counties between 1968 and 1975, narrowing the inflation-adjusted gap in income per person between metro and nonmetro areas by a tenth, to $1,403. Nonmetro earnings increased by the largest percentage in mining, agriculture, transportation, communications, and public utilities. In addition, net transfer payments more than tripled. Growth in total personal income in nonmetro areas exceeded metro growth in all four U.S. regions (South, West, North Central, Northeast). Nonmetro growth was greatest in the West, although combined metro-nonmetro growth was greatest in the South.
