title: [Population development in rural areas of the United States in the 1980s: turnaround of trends or continuity?].
abstract: "The article analyses the population growth in rural counties of the U.S.A.  for 1970-80 and 1980-86.  The growth rates are examined on different levels of aggregation (individual counties, subregions and regions) and in relation to several possible determinants of growth.  The main objective of the study is to examine whether the growth patterns in the eighties support the hypothesis of a turnaround in the population development of rural areas.... The results reveal a diversity of growth patterns and significant regional differences.  Rural counties within the daily urban system of a metropolitan area have significantly higher growth rates than peripheral rural counties.  The results do not support the notion of a turnaround of long established trends.  The trends in the eighties bear more resemblance to traditional growth patterns of rural areas." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
