Population redistribution within the rural-urban fringe:  a typology of small towns and rural municipalities in the state of New Jersey.
Population redistribution within the rural-urban fringe of the United States is examined using the state of New Jersey over the period 1970-1980 as an example.  "This article provides additional evidence for the redistribution of population to the rural-urban fringe and identifies those types of municipalities that experienced the greatest growth during the 1970s.  Furthermore, it finds that the factors that account for population growth at the rural-urban fringe are not only those associated with suburbanization, but also those associated with nonmetropolitan growth.  It also demonstrates that population growth at the rural-urban fringe varies not only by municipal type but also by race."
