ERS Typology Revised and Updated.

Cook, Peggy J.; Mizer, Karen L.

Rural Development Perspectives, v9 n3 p38-42 Jun 1994

Summarizes the revised economic and policy types of the Economic Research Service's rural county classification system. The new typology is based on conditions in more recent years, includes Alaska and Hawaii, redefines persistent poverty, includes more county types, makes economic types nonoverlapping, and classifies counties designated as nonmetropolitan in 1993.
