Jacobsen, G. Michael; Albertson, Bonnie Sanderson – Human Services in the Rural Environment, 1987
Rural ghettos are created when proportionately large numbers of unemployed, low income, and elderly residents live in communities located 30 miles or more from communities which can provide the range of goods and services necessary for a decent quality of life. This definition may apply to 300 Iowa towns. (JHZ)
