“…Other methods exist to measure the rural-urban continuum. For example, Chi and Marcouiller (2011b) construct an index for minor civil divisions in Wisconsin, while in part relying on the county-level rural continuum codes of USDA. 8 Because there are too few observations in category [8,9), we merge categories [8, 9) and [7, 8) to create a category where the rank is greater than or equal to 7.…”

Abstract. Using a spatial hedonic growth model, this paper empirically examines the relative roles of natural amenities and urban agglomeration economies as determinants of U.S. regional growth patterns from 2000 to 2010. Natural amenities and urban agglomeration are measured using the USDA Economic Research Service county classification codes. The general finding is that natural amenities and urban agglomeration both influenced regional growth. However, the natural amenity ranking is estimated to be positively related to increased productivity over the period rather than increased attractiveness to households. Urban agglomeration is positively related to increased amenity attractiveness to households. Within Census regional analysis revealed a stronger role for household natural amenity demand in nonmetropolitan areas.1

“…There are studies confirming that amenity services are connected with growth advantages and that these have larger implications for job growth in rural regions, compared with urban regions. Chi and Marcouiller (2012) for example, examine the significance of spatial heterogeneity of amenity services for migration using a spatial regime model. They find that none of the tested amenities were significant in attracting migrants into urban regions.…”

“…For instance, a place may be located outside of a large metropolitan area, but if a significant proportion of its population commutes to work inside the metropolitan area, this place is considered more urban than rural. The second continuum is based on a classification system designed by Chi and Marcouiller12 to study urbanisation processes in Wisconsin. This classification system, which we refer to as the modified Beale code, describes urban and rural places as they would be perceived by urban migrants; it distinguishes between metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas, and further classifies each area by the size of its population centres.…”

Are rural places less safe for motorists? Definitions of urban and rural to understand road safety disparities

et al. 2017

The objectives of the study are to understand road safety within the context of regional development processes and to assess how urban-rural categories represent differences in motor vehicle occupant fatality risk. We analysed 2015 motor vehicle occupant deaths in Wisconsin from 2010 to 2014, using three definitions of urban-rural continua and negative binomial regression to adjust for population density, travel exposure and the proportion of teen residents. Rural-Urban Commuting Area codes, Beale codes and the Census definition of urban and rural places do not explain differences in urban and rural transportation fatality rates when controlling for population density. Although it is widely believed that rural places are uniquely dangerous for motorised travel, this understanding may be an artefact of inaccurate constructs. Instead, population density is a more helpful way to represent transportation hazards across different types of settlement patterns, including commuter suburbs and exurbs.
