title: Repopulating the countryside: a 1980 census trend.
abstract: Census data confirm that in the 1970's population grew more rapidly outside than inside metropolitan territory, reversing a historic pattern. The new data reveal that the dispersion of population growth beyond metropolitan areas was not so much a movement to small towns as a movement to the open countryside. The trends appear strong enough to suggest a new shift toward rural life-styles.
