American Households on (and off) the Urban-to-rural Transect
The potential correlation of resident household types in the United States with the degree of urban intensity along the rural-to-urban transect is examined, both in its idealized form and in the reality of existing settlement patterns. Examined are: the failure of conventional survey techniques to measure accurately housing preferences; the use of an unconventional, target market methodology to predict market potential for housing types not currently available in a specific market place; the importance of defining American households in scores of very refined segments that take into account more than simple demographic and economic characteristics; the general disposition of broad household types along the rural-to-urban transect; how transect location, as much as economic achievement, influences household socio-economic status; and the role of housing and, by extension, transect location as components of American households' predilection for self-invention.
