title: Subjective correlates of small-town population change.
abstract: "This study examines subjective correlates-of-place among a set of small towns located in the Manitoba part of the Canadian Prairies.  The subjective correlates are discussed in terms of their differences from objective correlates-of-place, the usual indicators of quality-of-life pertaining to a community.  A rationale is developed to account for the varying associations of subjective and objective correlates with population change.  In particular, analysis attempts to infer which variables are associated with population gain as opposed to population loss."
