    Population and labor force growth in nonmetropolitan areas increased during the 1970s. This study models migration decisions, considering urban proximity and accessibility, to explain this demographic trend.

    Area of Science:

    • Demography
    • Urban Studies
    • Sociology

    Background:

    • Nonmetropolitan areas experienced population and labor force growth in the 1970s, a reversal of previous trends.
    • Urban areas present externalities like congestion, influencing migration decisions.
    • Understanding migration drivers is crucial for regional development and policy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze population and labor force growth trends in U.S. nonmetropolitan areas during the 1970s.
    • To investigate the relationship between migration behavior, urban accessibility, and urban externalities.
    • To model the migration decision process, explicitly incorporating proximity-centrality relationships.

    Main Methods:

    • Development and estimation of a migration decision model.

  • Explicit incorporation of proximity-centrality relationships within the migration model.
  • Examination of the age selectivity of migration patterns.

    • Main Results:

    • Model estimates provide insights into the factors influencing migration to nonmetropolitan areas.
    • The study identifies specific relationships between urban accessibility, externalities, and migration behavior.
    • Age selectivity in migration patterns is analyzed in the context of the nonmetropolitan reversal.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed model helps explain the nonmetropolitan population and labor force growth observed in the 1970s.
    • Findings offer insights into the complex interplay of urban factors and rural-bound migration.
    • The research contributes to understanding demographic shifts and their underlying causes.
