Rural residential development within metropolitan areas
Abstract Analysis of population patterns in the United States during the 1970s has shown a substantial redirection to non-metropolitan areas. A similar redirection to rural parts of metropolitan areas is occurring. This study examines population deconcentration at one locational scale—the urban fringe—using data from a sample of households taken from the Annual Housing Survey. Analysis of the data suggests that residential location behavior at the urban fringe can be characterized as economically rational and diverse in its composition. The decentralizing process within metropolitan areas cannot easily be regulated to achieve a more efficient and compact form of development. Efforts to constrain residential expansion by large-lot zoning may generate unintended effects; pricing of services may be more effective.
