Specifically, analyzing 227 nonmet- ropolitan counties in the North Central Division during the 1960-70 decade through various techniques of correlational analysis, the study tested the hypothesis that both posited independent components of the ecological complex and changes in each affect the net-migration rate directly with organiza- tion having a stronger effect than environment. Simple correlational analysis revealed indicators of both organization and environment to be directly related to migration in the posited directions based on the model with the former having a greater impact than the latter indepen- dent component. Moreover, diversity of structure, either of or easily accessible to a pepulation, was the best pre- dictor of the net-migration rate followed by variables Carolyn Tyirin Kirk measuring various aspects of manufacturing and institutional populations. Dividing the sample into a rural and an urban sub-sample showed few differences in the relative rank of the factors most highly correlated with migration. Stepwise multiple regression results showed that organization explained over half and environment slightly under a fourth of the variance in the dependent variable. Combining both sets of independent variables and using stepwise multiple regression and partial correlational analysis revealed, however, that environment had a negli- gible influence on the net-migration rate. 0n the other hand, the partials for the most important organizational variables showed almost no change between the analysis utilizing organizational measures alone and the examination employing both sets of independent variables. Such results, coupled with a strong association between organizational diversity and environmental nearness to an SMSA, indicate a need to revise the model by positing organization to have a direct impact on net-migration and environment to have an indirect effect through its influence on organization. Examination of measures of change also indicated that organization has a direct influence on netdmigration, although the two factors most highly correlated with migration may measure components of the complex other than those for which they were designated. Thus, this analysis showed the continuing methodological problem of developing Carolyn Tyirin Kirk meaningful indices that clearly stand for only one compenent of the ecological complex.

The impetus for this redirection came largely from the 1950 publication of Hawley's Human Ecology: A Theory of CommunityStructure.li Although still tied to some extent to the earlier tendency of researchers to dwell primarily on the spatial and temporal aspect of local community structure, Hawley's approach marked a serious effort "to restore a conceptual continuity with plant and animal ecologies."2 It also resulted in emphasizing a broader view of sustenance organization than had characterized the earlier empirical studies of the Chicago School. Following this direction, ecological theorists since 1950 have developed a model consisting of four 1Amos H. Hawley, Human Ecology: A_Theory QEDCom- munity Structure (New York, 1950). 2Amos H. Hawley, "Human Ecology," International Encyclopedia pf the Social Sciences (New York, 1967), 319. l 2 interacting components designated as the ecological complex;3 The variables include population, organization, environment and technology. In this schema population refers to the demographic characteristics of a set of inhabitants in a given territory, e.g., age-sex structure and size. Further- more, it is posited that a population's structure and size is continually moving towards a state of equilibrium in regard to the other three components while at the same time inducing further change in the other three variables. In ‘moving toward this equilibrium, migration is the major means by which a population changes in the short run.4 0n the other hand, fertility and mortality (except under special conditions where systematic policies of fertility and/or ‘mortality control are instituted) are long-run phenomena effecting population change. Agreement on the conceptualization of organization is far less common than for population. Although all agree 3See in particular Otis Dudley Duncan, "Human Ecology and Populations Studies," in The Stud of P0 ula- tion, An Inventor and Appraisal, ed._Ey'PHIIIp_Mfl auser and Otis DfidIey Duncan, (Chicago, 1959), 678-716 and Otis Dudley Duncan and Leo F. Schnore, "Cultural, Behavioral, and Ecological Perspectives in the Study of Social Organi- zation," The American Journal g§_Sociology, 65, (September, 1959). 137:56. 4Donald J. Bogue, Components of Population Change 1940-50: Estimates gf Net-Migration afia NaturaI Increase :23 Each Standard Metropolitan Area and State Economic Area (Oxford, I957). Bogue finds, for exampIe, that in the 1940-50 decade, percentage change in total population over all nonmetropolitan state economic areas correlates with net-migration at .917, p. 26. 3 it is a structural variable differing from what can be called economic organization in the sense of pertaining to factors amenable to cost analysis, the breadth of its definition varies substantially among theorists. Gibbs and Martin, for example, define organization narrowly in terms of sustenance. More precisely, sustenance activities are activities which provide a population with a livelihood. In their illustration of this definition, they specifically include types of economic concerns and occupations such as a large department store, a municipal power company, an independent taxi cab driven by its owner, and a house- wife.5 Likewise, Duncan and Schnore view organization "as a ramification of sustenance activities," but broadly conceived. However, they do not specify the parameters of the concept.6 Hawley, on the other hand, initially defines the concept very broadly by stating that ”ecological organization pertains to the total fabric of dependences that exist within a population."7 Furthermore, both this earlier definition (1950) and a later discussion (1967) of the term imply that organization is similar to if not identi- cal with social organization. Hawley does, however, note that this ecological conceptualization emphasizes functional 5Jack P. Gibbs and Walter T. Martin, "Toward a Theoretical System of Human Ecology," Pacific Sociological Review, 2, (Spring, 1959), 30-3. 6Duncan and Schnore, 136. 7Hawley (1950). p. 179. 4 structures and excludes the normative aspects of social 8 Yet, like Duncan and Schnore, he does not organization. specify concretely what is included in ecological organiza- tion. Similar to the broader views of organization, environment is easily defined in the abstract; the diffi- culty comes in defining specifically what is included under the rubric. Conceptually, environment refers to factors both within and outside a unit under study which actually influence or can potentially influence a population by aiding or impeding the utilization of resources. Moreover, it includes not only the physical environment but also other populations or the social environment. Such factors as climate and topography fall easily within the environ- mental category. Others, particularly those pertaining to social environment, are not easily classified. That is, an apparently infinite number of historical situations with regard to a given population's position vis-a-vis other populations complicates the cataloging of specific social environmental factors. For example, excluding the U.S.S.R. should all Eastern EurOpean nations commonly referred to as the Communist bloc be viewed as being in the same ecological position vis-a-vis the U.S.S.R. or do the various situations differ sufficiently to categorize the countries into two, three or more groups in reference to 8Hawley (1967), 329-330, 337. 5 this particular social environmental variable, the Russian population? Until more systematic research is done in this area, it is perhaps only possible to conclude with Hawley that environment "has no fixed content and must be defined anew for each different object of investigation."9 Technology, the fourth component of the complex, generally means technology in use. It includes both the types and quantities of tools and techniques used in exploiting resources and their effectiveness in providing sustenance and in this manner places limits on both the quantity and the quality of resource exploitation.10 The basic premise of ecology is that the four components of the ecological complex are reciprocally related to each other. That is, in order to analyze any one element of the complex adequately, one has to consider the other three components of the complex. Traditionally, the major goal of human ecologists has been to explain organization in terms of the other three variables. How- ever, a second goal, alluded to above in the discussion of population, "seeks to establish the consequences of the presence or absence of particular characteristics of sus- tenance organization within the ecological complex or null 'ecosystem. The traditional primacy of the first goal, 9Hawley (1967), 330. 10Gibbs and Martin, 33; David F. Sly, "Migration and the Ecological Complex," American Sociological Review, 37 (October, 1976), 617. 11Gibbs and Martin, 33. 6 as Hawley suggests, may be due largely to the convenience in proceeding from the more operationally well-defined such as population to the less well-defined such as organization. However, as he points out in regard to population and organization, for theoretical reasons "population is for many purposes better regarded as the dependent variable, delimited and regulated by organization."12 Despite the formulation of a cogent set of vari- ables, human ecology remains both an heuristic device in which the precise relationships among the components remain unknown and basically an approach to urban systems rather than to general social systems. Perhaps the major hindrance to the development of a more formal theoretical statement has been the recognition by ecologists that no one variable can stand alone but must be considered in relationship to the other three. However, to adhere to this permise in conducting research entails the delineation and measurement of four extremely inclusive variables. For example, to include population in its totality neces- sitates consideration of size, age-sex structure, in-, out- and net-migration, fertility, and mortality. An alternative strategy is to break down the complex as a whole and each of the four variables into smaller component parts, examine the relationships, and then put the complex together again later in a more precise theoretical formula- tion. 12Haw1ey (1967), 330. 7 In addition to the scarcity of research explicitly examining the precise relationships among the components of the ecological model, the focus of ecologists continues to center on the city and its tributary area as the proto- type of community or sustenance organization, even though this focus of early ecologists was largely fortuitous.13 This continued emphasis may be due in part to the use of the term community with its normative connotations and equation with town or city rather than the more neutral terms organization and/or social system. Also, the avail- ability of data provided by the U.S. Census on cities, SMA's, and later SMSA's has perhaps been instrumental in sustaining such an emphasis. Because the delineation of SMSA's includes a criterion based on sustenance dependence of the population of surrounding counties on a particular city of 50,000 or more, the problem of differentiating between the ecological unit, defined by Hawley as "that population which carries on its daily life through a given system of relationships,"14 and a governmental unit for which data are available is resolved to some extent. Such a focus has resulted in a tendency to view social systems as central place systems without recognizing the ecological "situation" of nonmetropolitan populations other than in relationship to the nearest city. The ecological perspective itself, however, does not neces- sitate such an emphasis. 13Hawley (1967), 331. 14Ibid., 33. 8 Although little research exists testing explicitly the relationships among the four ecological components in nonmetropolitan areas pg; s3, demographers have put forth a number of generalizations concerning pOpulation and sustenance organization in these areas.15 In general, loss of population has been attributed to the increasing mechanization of agriculture and the accompanying decline of agricultural employment coupled with the inability of nonmetropolitan areas to provide facilities attractive to nonagricultural economic concerns. Such circumstances have caused the young and educated to migrate out of rural areas. This in turn has produced an age structure which led to approximately 345 nonmetropolitan counties experi- encing more deaths than births in 1967. On the other hand, some nonmetropolitan areas have reversed this trend and are both growing in population and attracting more migrants than they are losing. These developments have been attrib- uted to the ability of the population of such areas to diversify by becoming commuter towns, retirement communities, college or university towns, or by developing specialized shopping facilities. In other cases, the existence of an interstate highway seems to explain the divergence from the 15Two sources providing excellent summaries of these generalizations are U.S. Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service, Economic Development Division, The Eco- nomic 229 Social Condition 9: Rural America in thE—I97UTS, (Washington, I971), Ch. 1; and the CommisSiOfiTon Population Growth and the American Future, Population and the American Future (New York, 1972), 30-33. 9 general pattern of population loss for both counties and towns. Excluding the effects of age-structure, a popula- tion variable, these generalizations suggest that both organization and environment are important determinants of population change. Specifically, the ability of a population to reorganize its sustenance organization as agricultural employment declines and the existence of environmental factors whether natural such as climatic factors amenable to retirement centers or manmade such as interstates help to explain different rates of population change and migration in these areas. These demographic generalizations indicate that the ecological complex may be able to provide a framework for explaining more fully differential migration rates in non- metropolitan areas. In addition, these findings as well as the results of other specific studies discussed below indicate that the study of nonmetropolitan areas can serve to test explicitly the relationships posited within the ecological complex in order to develop that useful heuristic device into a more precise model. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The purpose of this study is to test the relation- ship between net-migration and both sustenance organization and environment in nonmetropolitan counties in the North Central Region during the 1960-70 decade. The analysis will focus on several variables that have been measured in various 10 ways in studies utilizing nonmetropolitan counties, towns, and State Economic Areas over several time periods. Other factors which have been hypothesized as being of increasing importance in explaining net-migration and can serve as indices of organization, environment, and changes in each will also be included. Furthermore, although employment figures are the basis of several measures, the study also incorporates several measures not based on employment in determining manufacturing and agricultural specialization and in dealing with recreation and governmental expenditures. Testing these variables systematically over one decade will help to clarify the importance of each variable relative to other factors used as indicators of components of the ecological complex. In turn, this will enhance our understanding of why some nonmetropolitan counties are attracting migrants while the vast majority are continuing to lose population through net-migration. Moreover, the results of such a study will contribute to defining more precisely how two components of the ecological complex affect one means through which population size changes. THEORY AND LITERATURE From a theoretical standpoint, the relationship between migration and environmental resources is simply the question of how large a population can the existing environment sustain. If the population is too large for available resources, then the population contracts through ll migration, decreased fertility, and increased mortality. As pointed out earlier, however, out-migration is more effective than either fertility or mortality in altering population size in the short run. On the other hand, where the environment can support a larger population than it is sustaining, the population will tend to increase through the acquisition of individuals migrating from areas unable to support their p0pu1ations. The relationship between environment and migration, however, is more complex when other factors are considered. Hawley has developed a model of this relationship that also incorporates organization. According to his model, the organizational process can be viewed in four stages begin- ning with the competition of individuals or other units with similar demands on a scarce resource supply so that what one competitor gets necessarily decreases accordingly the amount others can obtain. In the second stage both the singularity of the supply and environmental factors impose standard competitive conditions which lead to increasing homogeneity among the competitors while in the third stage congestion operates to eliminate the weakest competitors. Finally, in the fourth stage either territorial or struc- tural differentiation (or a combination of the two) appears ‘with migration providing the mechanism leading to the former rather than the latter.16 That is, at the point at which some members win and others lose in the competition over 16Hawley (1950), pp. 201-3.

In addition, Hawley posits that the characteristics of both the population and the environment in which individuals compete have a direct although second- ary influence of their own in determining which differ- entiating process will predominate. On the other hand, technology is considered only indirectly when he discusses the development of new skills by individuals. Thus, in this model the resolution of competition is the primary Causal factor producing either structural or territorial differentiation while environmental and population Characteristics have secondary influences.” As stated, the model offers little theoretical insight into how organization and migration are directly T:elated. This may be because it starts at a point at which Either a new resource is discovered that totally dismantles the existing sustenance structure or an undifferentiated population enters a territory in order to exploit it for k 17Both Jane Jacobs, The Death and Life of Great American Cities, (New York, 1961), ch._I_3'; and Harriet an erry King, "New Town, Mon Amour," The Chicagoan, November, 1973, 78-83, provide illustraEions of this process in Greenwich Village, New York, and in Chicago entertainment areas respectively although both works emphasize the possi- ble destructive elements of the process to a community rather than the ecological processes involved. 13 the first time. In an ongoing system, however, competition occurs within the context of an existing structure. Hawley does suggest implicitly, however, that organization has a direct effect on migration. That is, the resolution of competition implies that at least a crude form of organization exists at this point with the population divided into two parts, successful and unsuc- cessful sustenance-getters. Within the context of an existing structure, moreover, it seems plausible to modify the model by prOposing that if the new resource competi- tion involves diversification of organization, more members of the population can gain sufficient sustenance than in a. situation where those receiving sufficient sustenance increase their sustenance level while members receiving little or no livelihood before remain in that position. The research cited earlier on population change and migra- tion in nonmetroplitan areas, moreover, supports the , Proposition that a more diversified sustenance organization can support a larger population in a given territory than can a highly specialized structure. This relationship can perhaps be better stated through an illustration involving specific territorial units. If a state, for example, is divided into specialized Units such as counties with each county specializing in a different activity and consequentially each county being structurally undifferentiated, then persons in any given county not possessing skills for that county's specialty 14 will either have to develop such skills or migrate else- where. The model further suggests that migration will be greater in this situation than in the opposite polar case where all activities are evenly distributed throughout all the counties, i.e., structural differentiation is equal among all counties. This is because in the territorially differentiated state, persons will be more likely not to reside initially in a county in which they can utilize their skills whereas in an undifferentiated state where all sustenance activities are equally distributed, i.e., each county population is maximally differentiated structur- ally within the limits of the state structure, everybody will reside initially at a point where he can potentially utilize his skills in attacking the resouce supply. Further- more, assuming an equal level of resources, this also implies that in a situation in which different types of t:erritorial units exist, some structurally differentiated and some structurally undifferentiated, those that are undifferentiated will lose peOple through migration and those that are structurally differentiated will gain p0pu1ation through migration since the latter have a wider range of sustenance niches available and hence can both attract and retain a wider range of skills. This study focusses on defining more precisely the causal relationships that Hawley's modified migration model posits between organization and environment on one hand and migration on the other. Specifically, it is hypothesized 15 that the greater the organizational diversification and the higher the level of environmental resources, the more positive will be the net-migration rate. Moreover, it is posited that the influence of organization will be stronger than that of environment. The study also examines the relationship between change in the two independent variables and migration. Hawley neither specifies nor implies how changes in these two components of the ecological complex relate to popula- tion change through migration. Given the suggested relationships between environment and organization at one point in time followed by migration, however, it is plausi- ble to assume that changes in these two variables will relate tzo net-migration in similar ways. Thus, it is hypothesized that the greater the changes in organization indicating diversification and secondarily the greater the changes in environment indicating increasing resource availability to more members of a population, the more positive the net- migration rate will be. Both ecologists and demographers have taken some Steps toward examining the relationships among the compo- nents of the ecological complex in nonmetropolitan areas although only a few have tested these relationships explicitly. Among these studies are several utilizing employment figures which support evidence presented earlier that the major cause of differential migration rates among rural areas is related directly to both the 16 decrease of opportunities in farming and the ability of populations to diversify away from agriculture.18 Further- ‘more, they suggest that diversification involving the acquisition of manufacturing concerns is an important factor in explaining net-migration differentials. In general, these studies taken together indicate that a nonmetropoli- tan area that continues to rely heavily only on agriculture and fails to augment this with manufacturing may be regarded as a structurally undifferentiated area with a strong negative net-migration rate. Conversely, an agricultural population that includes some manufacturing and is increas- ingly developing a more differentiated structure through the acquisition of manufacturing concerns within its sus- tenance structure loses less and/or gains p0pu1ation through net-migration. On the other hand, only one of three studies that also test standard of living indicates that this factor plays a part in explaining net-migration. Specifically, Bogue's study of correlates of net- migration in nonmetropolitan economic regions from 1940 to 1950 indicates that net-migration correlates positively with size of manufacturing labor force and negatively with size of agricultural labor force in 1950. In addition, he 18Although a p0pu1ation in a given territory may be undifferentiated structurally in regard to any sustenance activity, nonmetropolitan p0pu1ations in the United States tend to be involved in primary or extractive sustenance activities, particularly agriculture. The degree to which the sample utilized in this study conforms to this pattern will be discussed in Chapter II. Also see Otis Dudley Duncan and Albert J. Reiss, Jr., Social Characteristics of Urban and Rural Communities, 1950 (New YorE} 1956), p. 2T5. 17 finds that the farm operator level-of—living index for 1945 correlates positively with net-migration. It should be noted, however, that unless one assumes that the size of both the agricultural and manufacturing labor forces remained in relative proportion to each other, Bogue may be measuring the organizational result of migration rather than its cause; that is, the 1950 labor force size followed the 1940- 50 period in which migration is measured. Thus, care must be taken in imputing causality. Furthermore, it should also be noted that all three correlations vary from moderate to strong within different regions although the direction of all relationships are comparable between areas. 19 Levitan and Houghteling's study of the slower growth rate of Missouri compared with the nation as a whole suggests an explanation for Bogue's negative correlation between net-migration and agricultural employment. They find that the best explanation for this phenomenon rests on the agricultural nature of the state. That is, slower growth is due to the exodus of farmers primarily caused by increased farm productivity, consolidation of farms, and a corresponding higher birth rate in rural areas which has forced migration of "excess farmers and/or farmers' children to urban areas in search of employment both within and outside the state.20 19Bogue, pp. 26-27. 20Sar A. Levitan and Louis D. Houghteling, Factors Affecting the Slower Growth g£_Missouri Population Compared with the United—States, rev. ed., (Washington, 1961). 0‘ m 18 Two other studies add additional support to the findings concerning employment but reveal that standard of living may not be as strongly associated with net-migra- tion as Bogue's results denote. In a study of migration utilizing State Economic Areas in West Virginia, Rutman's results indicate that population inflows are dependent on economic opportunities available in general in the area of destination in the 19508. However, he finds no statistically significant relationship between migration and any of five indicators of well-being based on percentage above or below various income levels.21 Beegle, Marshall, and Rice have categorized non- metropolitan counties in the North Central Region and Kentucky on the basis of three variables, in- or out- migration, high or low manufacturing, and high or low standard of living based on the farm operator level-of- living index over the 1940-50 and 1950-60 decades. On this basis they find three prevailing patterns. The first includes counties characterized by in-migration, high standard of living and high proportions in manufacturing; the other two patterns represent counties with out-migration, low proportions in manufacturing, and either high or low farm operator level of living. This suggests that a strong and positive association exists between net-migration and manufacturing employment, although as in the Bogue study 21Gilbert L. Rutman, "Migration and Economic Opportunities in West Virginia: A Statistical Analysis," Rural Sociology, 35 (June, 1970), 206-17. 19 manufacturing percentages are based on end-of-decade data. On the other hand, the results also suggest that the well- being of an agricultural population has little influence on migration. Because this study also includes the 1950s while Bogue's encompasses only the 19403, the discrepancy in results may be due to the use of several factors in the farm level-of-living index which may no longer be useful measures of well—being. That is, in 1959 the index included percentage of farms with telephones, with freezers, and with automobiles in addition to two items dealing with average value of land and buildings and average value of sales.22 Comparing the variables used in these four studies ‘with reference to the ecological model, Rutman deals primarily with measures of sustenance level. On the other hand, Bogue and Beegle, et.§l., have added indices of organizational diversity or specialization based on percentage employed in manufacturing and/or agriculture while Levitan and Houghteling are only concerned with diversity and specialization. Furthermore, although various functional classifications of cities or central places have been devised that consider the entire occupa- tional structure, the vast majority of studies of 22Allan Beegle, Douglas Marshall, Rodger Rice, "Selected Factors Related to County Migration Patterns in the North Central States 1940-50 and 1950-60," Michigan State University Agricultural Experiment Station Quarterly Bulletin, 46 (November, 1963), 1-40. 20 nonmetropolitan migration, like the above studies, incor- porate unidimensional indices of organization.23 There are two exceptions to this generalization. Both Groth and Sly explicitly utilize measures of organiza- tion embracing the entire occupational structure in migra- tion studies based on county units of analysis. Groth has developed a functional classification in which those counties ranking in the top ten per cent in employment in any one of six industry groups or having over ten per cent employed in any one of three other ”low employment" categories are designated as functionally specialized. He has further dichotomized functional types into rural or urban counties based on population size, nonagricultural labor force size, or per cent commuting to urban centers and has compared the resulting types with net-migration rates 1960-70 in counties throughout the 48 contiguous States. In comparing rural and urban subtypes where greater out-migration than in- migration occurs, the loss is more severe for rural sub- types; in other cases, controlling for functional type reveals that rural subtypes show a net loss while their urban counterparts show a net gain. Finally, his results 23For discussions and critiques of several of these schema see Ralph Thomlinson, Urban Structure: The Social and Spatial Character of Cities (New YOrk, I969YT 66-8; AIbert J. Reiss, Jr., "Functional Specialization of Cities," Cities and Spgiety: The Revised Reader in Urban Sociolo , ed. by Paul K. Hatt and Albert J. ReissT_Jr. (New York, 1957), 555-75; Otis Dudley Duncan, et. al., Metropolis and Re ion (Baltimore, 1960); Philip—G.—Groth: "Functional CIass1 cations of Counties: Some Applications," Department of Rural Sociology, University of Wisconsin, Madison, May 26, 1972, 1-3. 21 show less variation in net-migration in rural subtypes than in similar urban counties. He concludes from this that "rurality pg£_§g exerts a stronger influence on net-migra- tion than does functional specialization."24 Sly, in an explicit test of the relative importance of the three nonpopulation components of the ecological complex in relation to migration, finds that both occupa- tional diversification and agricultural stability directly affect the out-migration rate of the black male population of Cotton Belt counties over the 1940-50 and 1950-60 decades. The first of the two measures, the index of occupational dispersion, is based on the difference between actual percentage of blacks in each occupational category and the expected percentage assuming all workers have equal access to all occupations and hence would be equally distributed among all categories. The stability of the agricultural structure over a decade is measured through the development of a weighted index based on four agri- cultural occupations in which the least stable occupation is weighted most heavily and the most stable is weighted least. On the basis of the ecological model, Sly hypothe- sizes that the higher the former index indicating greater diversity the lower the out-migration rate will be whereas the higher the latter measure indicating greater occupa- tional instability the greater the out-migration rate will be.25 24Groth, 22. 25Sly, passim. 22 His results confirm the model with the index of occupational dispersion correlating more strongly than the agricultural index over both decades. Furthermore, path analysis indicates that in general both organizational factors have a direct relationship with migration while technological and environmental factors affect migration only indirectly through organization. There are two excep- tions to this. The first is a technological variable, gas consumption, which ranks between the two organizational indices in the 19403 in direct influence, and the second is white-nonwhite acreage ratio, an environmental factor, which is the most important direct influence on migration in the 19503. Sly's results also reveal that the relationship between both organizational indices and migration are weaker in the 19503 than in the previous decade. He sug- gests that the lessening influence of organization could be due to the effectiveness of migration in the 19403 or to greater discontent unrelated to the ecosystem among Southern blacks in the 19503. Thirdly, given the pre- dominance of the acreage ratio variable in the latter decade, Sly suggests that possibly the 19503 witnessed a reorganization of agriculture within these counties accompanied by a lack of opportunity for blacks outside of this sector. It is difficult both to compare and to reconcile the findings of the Groth and Sly studies unless one 23 concludes that organization is simply decreasing in influ- ence on migration and hence population change. However, the noncomparability of the populations under study (total versus black male residents of county) as well as Sly's third possible explanation for apparent declining organiza- tional influence cautions against this. Furthermore, it is not known how dispersed the Cotton Belt counties would be throughout the Groth classification. If the Cotton Belt counties fall into different functional categories based on Groth's schema, it would suggest that the organizational index used determines to some extent the relationship found between organization and migration. On the other hand, if the southern counties are all specialized in one of Groth's categories, it would suggest that Sly's two indices, and in particular his index of occupational dispersion, which is meant to measure the same dimension as Groth‘s index, may in fact measure a different dimension of organization. Groth acknowledges that it is only through the exploration of alternative modes of classification that it can be discovered which is the most fruitful measure of sustenance organization.26 The results of these two studies indicate that it is also only through the exploration of alternative modes of classification that the precise effects of sustenance organization on migration can be determined. 26Groth, l9. 24 In addition to research based on occupational indices, several ecological studies of nonmetropolitan areas utilize other indicators of structural diversity. A major focus of these studies is urban size as either cause or effect of population change or migration. A3 Lampard points out, urbanization can be regarded as the movement of people out of agricultural and into non- agricultural occupational pursuits and generally larger communities; moreover, this perspective "gives primary recognition to the differential ordering of occupations or industries within a given territorial space."27 Moreover, economic geographers have long noted a relation- ship between size of urban place and function with larger places providing more specialized services than smaller places.28 From an ecological standpoint, it follows that because larger urban places provide more services they also provide a wider variety of occupational niches. Thus, degree of urbanization and in particular size of largest urban place can serve as a measure of occupational diversity. 27Eric E. Lampard, "Historical Aspects of Urbaniza- tion," The Stud of Urbanization, ed. by Philip M. Hauser and Leo F. c nore (NewlYork,71965), 520. 28See in particular Brian J. L. Berry and Allen Pred, Central Place Studies: A Biblio ra h of Theor and Applications (Philadelphia, 196 ; an A en K. riEk, "Principles of Areal Functional Organization in Regional ggga§3geography," Economic Geography, 33 (October, 1957) 25 Two of the studies dealing with urban places also incorporate other measures of structural diversity relating to the existence of college, military, and/or other insti- tutional facilities which can be viewed in two ways in reference to migration. The existence of these institutions draws migrants into an area while from an ecological perspective they are also indices of structural diversity. That is, they provide additional occupational niches for the p0pu1ation both within the facilities themselves as well as in supporting services that may arise due to their location in a particular area, e.g., restaurants to accommodate visitors to those within these three types of facilities. In an examination of nonmetropolitan counties between 1960 and 1970 utilizing five organizational and one environmental variable, Irwin finds that all measures correlate positively with change in population size with existence of a college being the most important factor (r=.209). However, all correlations are low and the multiple correlation coefficient for all six variables is only .3087. The other four organizational variables include military, large city, small city, and institution with all variables set up as binary variables, i.e., existence or absence based upon various size criteria. However, the study deals with population change rather than migration. More importantly, as Irwin suggests, the use of continuous variables might yield somewhat different results 26 than his binary variables and might clarify those relation- ships he has found. For example, it seems likely that a college of 1,000 students would generate fewer supporting services both in terms of variety and quantity than would a university of 40,000 students.29 In addition to the five organizational factors, Irwin's results show that the existence of a freeway, an environmental factor, is the second most important variable explaining population change during the decade (r=.l99). There are a number of possible explanations for this phenomenon. Such access may induce manufacturing concerns to locate near such interchanges, lead to the creation of subsidiary road services for travelers, and/or signify access to SMSA's or at least to a larger territory, all of which would presumably promote greater structural differentiation. Thus, this result in addition to Sly's finding that the strongest direct influence on migration in the 19503 was an environmental factor which may be linked to organizational changes suggests that the rela- tionship between environment and migration needs to be explored more thoroughly relative to organization. In a study of in-migration (rather than net- migration) focussing on nonmetropolitan urban places, Zuiches finds that both college and military activity 29Richard Irwin, "Nonmetropolitan Population Change: 1960-70," paper prepared for presentation at the annual meeting of the Population Association of America, Washington, D.C., April 23, 1971. ‘ 27 are important explanatory factors, the former to intrastate and the latter to interstate in-migration to urban places. His analysis also indicates that those places farthest from metropolitan complexes are experiencing higher levels of in- migration than other urban places controlling for all other variables. He concludes that these results suggest that the remote urban places may act as central places in their own right in dominating a rural hinterland.30 I Zuiches' explanation of the relationship between remoteness and population has also been examined by Burford, Lemon, and Fuguitt. Before discussing these studies, however, it should be noted that the concept of central place has two implications pertaining to population. The first is that the more important the place is as a center the larger it will be. Secondly, a central place will be more diversified occupationally due to the greater variety of services it performs for its hinterland than will be a noncentral place of similar size at a given point in time. Thus, if the ecological model is valid, this diversity should induce greater growth through migra- tion to the central place than to the comparable noncentral place town. Testing the relationship between county level net- migration to urban centers and a remoteness index based 30James J. Zuiches, "In-Migration and Growth of Nonmetropolitan Urban Places," Rural Sociology, 35 (September, 1970), 410-20. 28 in part on cities with a population as low as 10,000 for the 1930-40 decade, Burford obtains a small but significant parabolic correlation indicating that net-migration is lowest in those areas both closest to and farthest from large cities. In an analysis of the results, he suggests that in those areas closest to cities, members can migrate occupationally without necessarily migrating spatially. Also, the tendency for places farthest from cities to have lower net-migration rates than intermediate counties can be attributed to a remoteness so great from large centers that both in- and out-migration between the area and large centers is discouraged. These results tend to confirm partially Zuiches' suggested explanation of remoteness. That is, Burford's findings suggest that isolation promotes the fuller develOpment of urban places remote from.cities as regional centers with greater differentiation than urban places located in intermediate counties.31 Lemon's study of urbanization in southeastern Pennsylvania in the eighteenth century indicates that p0pu1ation size and central place functions are directly related to each other and to remoteness from already exist- ing central places. Through classifying towns by size and function and comparing the actual distribution of towns with that theoretically expected utilizing central place theory, Lemon concludes that the "strong" fourth order 31Roger L. Burford, "An Index of Distance as Related to Internal Migration," Southern Economic Journal, 29 (October, 1962), 77-81. 29 county seats in the backcountry which functioned as commercial centers as well as political centers prevented the expansion of other places. Similarly, the primacy of Philadelphia prevented the growth of county seats near it to fourth order central places as in the backcountry and in general inhibited town growth in places within a 30-mile radius of this fifth order metropolis.32 In a study exploring the relationship between county seat status and growth Fuguitt suggests that although federal and State governments have a greater influence on local affairs today, it has been done generally through the county,"so that county governmental functions have been strengthened and augmented."33 In organizational terms this strengthening and augmenting of functions also suggests an increase and diversification of job opportuni- ties and hence occupational niches within the structure. In a test of the relationship between county seat status and population growth or decline in the North Central Region plus New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, he finds that such status is positively related to growth of towns in counties more than fifty miles from SMSA Central Cities. 32James T. Lemon, "Urbanization and the Development of Eighteenth-Century Southeastern Pennsylvania and Adjacent Delaware,” The William and Mary Quarterly, 3d. Ser., XXIV (October,-I967), 562-337 33Glenn V. Fuguitt, "County Seat Status as a Factor in Small Town Growth and Decline," Social Forces, 44 (December, 1965), 246. 30 Although the studies discussed in this survey vary as to both the mechanism of population size change consid- ered and the unit of analysis employed, several conclusions can be drawn. In regard to environment, three of the studies indicate that there is a relationship between environment and population other than the effect of remote- ness from metropolises leading to diversification. Specifically, environmental expansion (interstates) is associated with population expansion while environmental restriction (white-nonwhite acreage ratio) correlates with population decline through migration. In addition, Fuguitt's results comparing towns with and without county seat status suggest that another environmental factor, the impact of differential outside influences from other governmental units on counties, needs to be explored further. Utilizing different measures of structural diversity, these studies also indicate that, despite Groth's conclusion regarding the importance of rurality, counties more remote from cities or SMSA's may possess towns that serve as regional centers and consequently either retain more of their populations and/or attract more migrants than less remote towns. Furthermore, both empirical research and theoretical work by economic geographers and ecologists suggest that the size of urban places is related directly and positively to diversity of function and hence organiza- tional diversification. Finally, all of these studies 31 reveal that structural diversification away from agriculture in nonmetropolitan areas is positively correlated with both migration and population change. CHAPTER II METHODOLOGY Employing ecological theory, this study will examine the relationship between both organization and environment and the net-migration rate. More specifically, various methods of correlational analysis will be used in order to measure the effects of specific variables (serving as indi- cators of organization and environment) in explaining dif- ferential migration rates in nonmetropolitan counties. Moreover, the study will also focus on exploring the relationships among various indices of organization and environment that have been either explicitly or implicitly suggested to be important factors contributing to the net- migration rate. Unit of Analysis The study includes 227 counties, a one-quarter sample of all nonmetropolitan counties in the North Central Division as of 1970. Although a particular governmental unit such as a county does not necessarily constitute an ecological unit from an organizational standpoint, two methodological considerations favor the use of governmental units. As Gibbs and Martin point out, of major importance 32 nu.- ..:\ 33 is the availability of data which is generally compiled by governmental units.1 Furthermore, the use of such terri- tories allows for easy comparability over time. That is, the use of ecological units such as communities would entail redefining population boundaries as neighboring populations become integrated into one structure or part of a p0pu1ation appears to break off into a new sustenance structure. The use of governmental units with relatively stable boundaries avoids this problem. In addition, research indicates that the county unit is not only a methodological convenience but also serves as a basis for ecological organization. Fuguitt has noted the strengthening of county level government as a liason between federal and State agencies and the local population. Brown, in an analysis of the political areal- functional hierarchy in Minnesota also indicates two sub- functions of counties themselves that affect sustenance structure directly. The collection and disbursement of tax money, he notes, can affect industry location, and the county's power to create or dissolve school districts can affect the sustenance structure in terms of both occupa- tional niches and the training of prospective labor force entrant S . 2 1Gibbs and Martin, 32. 2Fuguitt, p. 246; and Robert Harold Brown, Political Areal Functional Organization: with special reference pg Sp. Cloud, Minnesota (Chicago, I957), p. 110. 34 Lyford's study of Vandalia, Illinois, supports even more strongly the idea that counties serve as ecological units as well as political units. Specifically, he maintains that there are strong ties between the town and farmers in the rest of Fayette county. Regarding the farmer's decline, he asserts that "Vandalia would suffer without its factories-- their 1033 would be a fearful blow to the town's hopes for the future-~but it could not survive without its farmers. As Dr. Josh Weiner puts it, 'the job of people in town is to supply the farmer all the services he needs."'3 This suggests that there are strong sustenance ties between rural towns and the surrounding farm population beyond the political ties of county government. Description of the Sample Demographically, the 227 counties include 179 with negative net-migration rates in the 19603, 46 with positive net-migration rates, and two that neither gained nor lost population through net-migration during the decade. Compar- ing counties over a two decade period indicates that 171 have followed the traditional pattern of losses through net-migration in both decades; furthermore, for 55 of these counties the percentage of negative net-migration increased in the latter decade. On the other hand, 12 counties gained through net-migration in both decades, 34 switched for losing 3Joseph P. Lyford, The Talk ip Vandalia: The Life of 32 American Town (New York 1965), p. 12. .

P ‘h 35 to gaining counties, and eight recorded negative net-migration rates after gaining in the 19503. Finally, the two counties that neither gained nor lost population in the 19603 through migration had negative net-migration ratestfluaprevious decade. Occupationally, the sample reflects the traditional agricultural nature of the rural United States based on a 14 industry classification of occupations. Specifically, agriculture ranked first in number employed in 165 counties in 1960 while retailing ranked first in 26 counties, durable manufacturing in 22, nondurable manufacturing in seven, professional services in four, mining in two and contruction in one. Transportation and communication, wholesale trade, finance and insurance, business and repair services, personal services, entertainment, and public administration did not predominate in any counties. Agriculture dominated even more in 1950 ranking first in employment in 202 counties; durable manufacturing ranked first in ten counties, retail- ing in eight, nondurable manufacturing in four, mining in two and transportation and communication in one. A comparison of the percentage of agricultural employees in each county to that expected if all industries of occupation were distributed evenly throughout the United States further indicates that agriculture predominates. Using this measure, 220 counties in both 1950 and 1960 had more than the expected number of workers employed in agri- culture; moreover, in both decades workers in two of the seven remaining counties were principally engaged in mining.

A .1. u 'o‘.‘ k..‘ v I 0'... «.g. o'- 6 a N d ‘ 36 Thus, as measured by these indicators, the sample has been primarily agricultural in nature although by 1960 27.3 per cent of the counties had diversified to the extent that agriculture did not rank first in primary industry of employment. Dependent Variable The dependent variable in this study is the net- migration rate computed using the residual method: NM = PZ-P1+B-D P1 Rates rather than absolute numbers are used in computing net-migration as well as the majority of independent variables because of the vast differences in size of the base population among counties. For example, it would be impossible for Arthur County, Nebraska, with 680 inhabitants in 1960 to lose the 6,000 residents that Kankakee County, Illinois, lost through net-migration during the decade. If all variables were based on employment, these differences would in effect be accounted for in the statistical analysis since both net-migration and all independent variables would reflect the limitations of various population sizes in the counties. However, the inclusion of several non- population based variables necessitates that rates rather than absolute numbers be utilized in order to establish a meaningful basis for comparison. 37 Independent Variables The study utilizes eighteen measures of organiza- tion, nine measures of changing organization, six environ- mental variables and one variable measuring environmental change. Each variable is stated below (the title in parentheses is how it will appear in tables) along with comments explaining either the measure itself and/or its relevance to the study. Unless stated otherwise, it is predicted that each variable will correlate positively with net-migration. All predicted directions of associa- tion are based on what should occur if the ecological model is valid. Measures of Organization Because of the predominance of agriculture in 1960 as well as historically as indicated by 1950 data, all structural measures pertaining to nonagricultural sustenance are assumed to be indicators of diversity. For example, a high percentage employed in manufacturing is assumed to be an indication of greater structural diversity than a low percentage similarly employed. In addition, although it seems reasonable to assert causation between independent variables measured in 1960 and the 1960-70 net-migration rate, caution must be exerted in inferring causal relationships between mid-decade measures and migration. However, because each variable is measured for all counties at the same point in time, the data are consistent among counties. Thus, relationships found 38 between these factors and net-migration can suggest further areas of research in order to find more accurate measures to clarify ecological relationships. The specific variables which measure diversification, size, or sustenance level and Opportunity are as follows: 1. Percentage employed in manufacturing, 1960 (Manufacturing Employment). 2. Degree of diversity, 1960 (Diversity). This variable is measured by subtracting the Index of Dissimilarity from one. The Index of Dissimilarity utilizes the U.S. labor force structure categorized into the 14 industries employed earlier in this chapter to determine primary industry of occupation. The index figure is the percentage of workers who would have to transfer to other industry groups for the county structure to duplicate the national structure. It is determined by subtracting actual rmmber of workers in a category from expected number based on the U.S. structure, summing all positive differences, and then dividing by the total number of labor force participants in the county.4 The result measures specializa- tion, while subtracting the index figure from one indicates the extent of diversification of the structure within the limits imposed by the national structure. For example, if a country had an occupational profile such that 50 per cent of the workers were engaged in agriculture and 50 per aDuncan, 35. al., Metropolis and Region, 209-11. 39 cent in retail trade and a particular county's profile was 60-40 per cent respectively, 10 per cent of the county's workers would have to switch occupations to duplicate the national structure (Index of Dissimilarity) while 90 per cent could remain in their present occupational niches (degree of diversity). 3. Number of categories (21 possible types of manufacturing production) in which at least one manufactur- ing concern exists, 1967 (Manufacturing Categories). This is a crude measure of diversity within the manufacturing sector. 4. Number of manufacturing firms with at least 20 employees, 1967 (Manufacturing Firms). This variable serves as an indicator of both size of the manufacturing sector and diversity within it in terms of number of facilities which can possibly offer employment. 5. Percentage of farm operator family income from other employment, 1964 (Other Farm Income). A negative association has been posited for this analysis, although until it is tested the ecological model offers arguments for correlation in either direction. The ability to find work off the farm indicates structural differentia- tion within a given territory. However, the low sustenance level of farming in an area as indicated by the fact that the farm operator's family needs other sources of income and yet does not quit farming suggests that structural differentiation is not great enough to induce an occupational p I C 40 change although farming does not provide enough sustenance for the family. Thus, a multiple income circumstance is merely a step between full-time farm operator and migration. 6. Number of categories (eight possible types of agricultural production) in which at least one farm exists, 1964 (Farm Categories). This is a crude measure of diversity of farm land use indicating differentiation within the agricultural sector. 7. Unemployment rate, 1960 (Unemployment). This indicates the prOportion of the potential labor force that cannot find employment and should correlate negatively with net-migration. 8. Female participation rate in the labor force, 1960 (Female Participation). A high female participation rate suggests the existence of a more diversified structure in which a greater variety of skills can be utilized. 9. Percentage of families with median income under $3,000, 1960 (Income Under $3,000). 10. Percentage of public relief recipients, 1964. Both this variable and the previous one should be negatively correlated with net-migration. They are both indicators of the sustenance structure's inability to accommodate the population sufficiently. 11. Percentage employed in public administration and education, 1960 (Public Administration). Both this and the following variable test the effects of the increasing role of governments as employers. a b c 41 12. Percentage full-time equivalent employees in local government, 1967 (Local Government Employment). 13. Number of hotels, tourist courts, motels, trailer parks, camps, 1966 (Hotels). 14. Number of amusement and recreation services excluding bowling alleys, billiard halls, movie theaters, 1966 (Amusement Places). Both numbers 13 and 14 are indirect indices of the extent to which a county serves as a resort or recreation area and thus reflects employment Opportunities in tourist- related businesses. 15. Percentage college poppulation, 1960 (College). 16. Percentage male military population, 1960 (Military). 17. Percentage institutionalized population, 1960 (Institutionalized). Variables 15, 16 and 17 measure the impact of various insti— tutionalized populations which have been posited as being positively correlated with the net-migration rate. 18. Largest urban place, 1960 (Largest Town). Size of the largest urban place is used as a measure of diversification. As discussed in the previous chapter, the positive correlation between size of place and diversity of function implies a wider variety of occupational niches leading to a more positive net- migration rate for those counties with the more populous largest urban places. Within this sample there are four 42 cases in which the largest urban place has a population that resides in two counties; in such instances only that part Of the population residing in the sample county is included. Measures of Organizational Change With one exception, these variables designate changes in various measures listed under organization. The nine variables are as follows: 1. Change in percentage employed in manufacturing, 1960-70 (Change in Manufacturing Employment). 2. Change in land use, 1959-69 (Change in Land Use). This is a binary variable indicating whether or not the major type Of farm activity remains constant from the beginning‘ to the end Of the decade. Changing land use may mean a change in skills needed which may in turn reflect itself in the net-migration rate; that is, new farm Operators will nfigrate into an area while former farm operators will be more likely to look for new local jobs before migrating.5 The major problem in testing this relationship is that the 1959 data are for all farms and those for 1969 are only fer farms with sales of $2,500 or more. This means that 5The results of studies by Isbell and by Bright and‘Thomas suggest that individuals will migrate the least distance possible in search of employment. See Eleanor Collins Isbell, "Internal Migration in Sweden and Inter- vening Opportunities," American Sociological Review, 9 (December, 1944), 627-39? and Margaret L. Bright and Dorothy S. Thomas, "Interstate Migration and Intervening Opportunities," American Sociological Review, 6 (December, 1941), 773-83. 1, .4“- " n "-‘u-- r :E LS ‘UO‘I‘ a l‘u‘: . ‘u‘ 43 one must assume that smaller and part-time farms fall into each category in similar proportion to larger farms. 3. Change in unemployment rate, 1960-70 (Change in Unemployment). Similar to the reasoning for the unemployment rate in 1960, this variable should correlate negatively with net-migration. 4. Change in female participation rate, 1960-70 (Change in Female Participation). The rationale for the posited positive correlation between this variable and the net-migration rate as well as for the remaining measures of organizational change and the dependent variable corresponds to that given for each comparable static measure of organization in the previous section. 5. Change in percentage employed in public adminis- tration and education, 1960-70 (Change in Public Administration). 6. Change in percentage college population, 1960-70 (Change in College). 7. Change in percentage male military population, 1960-70 (Change in Military). 8. Change in percentage institutionalized population, 1960-70 (Change in Institutionalized). 9. Change in percentage of p0pu1ation in largest urban place, 1960-70 (Change in Largest Town). In five instances the largest place in 1960 did not remain the largest place in 1970. Because the focus of this study is the relationship between size of urban place as an index 44 of diversification and net-migration rather than on urban place per pg, the percentage change is computed using one place in 1960 and the other in 1970. Measures g Environment Five of the six environmental variables are indicators Of resources related to access either to employment or to aid which.may affect the sustenance level of a population. The sixth variable, interstates, as noted in the discussion of Irwin's study, can be viewed as an environmental factor which has implications for both local structural change and access to cities or larger organizational complexes. Finally, none of the variables is based on data for 1960 which mitigates against inferring causality. However, in several cases it seems reasonable to posit net-migration as the dependent variables despite time of measurement. The reasons for this are discussed under the specific variables. The six environmental variables are as follows: 1. Amount of federal funds spent per capita in fiscal 1970 (Federal Outlays). This variable as well as the two that follow pertain spe- cifically to the outside influence of federal and State governments. Although counties are a part of these larger units, the three variables are included under environment because state and federal policies affecting a county are not totally detenmined by the local population but in compe- tition with other populations seeking both funds and jobs. um... UH ..A . t :i V 45 Also, in regard to this one measure, because relative federal expenditures have remained fairly consistent over time among units, causality can be reasonably inferred. 2. Per capita revenue from state government in a county, 1966-67 (State Revenues). 3. Percentage of federal government employees, December 1965 (Federal Employment). 4. Existence of an interstate highway, 1970 (Interstate). This binary variable includes only highways completed by 1970; thus, they existed at least during part Of the previous decade. Also, although the measure is designated inter- states, it includes other four-lane (or larger) highways if they lead to places outside the county. On the other hand, multi-lane roads that either encircle part of a town or run between two nearby towns within the same county are not coded as interstates. The major noninterstate four-lane highway that is coded as an interstate is route 66 in Illinois and Missouri which be being superceded by Interstates 55 and 44. 5. Nearness to closest SMSA, 1970 (Nearness to SMSA). Both numbers 5 and 6 are calculated by measuring the distance from each nonmetropolitan county seat to the central city of the nearest SMSA or city respectively. It is hypothesized that nearness to an SMSA will be positively correlated with net-migration. The use of 46 the 1970 SMSA's affects one sample county and the new SMSA in 1970 already had a population of 130,020 in 1960 while the two cities comprising the Central City had a larger total population in 1960 than in 1970. 6. Nearness to closest city of 25,000 or more, 1970 (Nearness to City). The relationship between this variable and net-migration is posited to be similar to the association between SMSA's and migration. Because cities of 25,000 or more exist in nine counties in the sample, this variable overlaps with largest urban place and thus blurs the distinction between organization and environment in those cases. The use of 1970 data, moreover, entails the use of six cities that ‘moved into the 25,000 or more category during the decade. On the other hand, no usable 1960 cities of 25,000 or more fell below that population level by 1970. Measure pf Environmental Change 1. Average change in acreage per farm, 1959-69 (Change in Farm Size). It is posited that smaller increases in average farm size (average size decreased in only two counties) will be positively correlated with net-migration since a smaller increase suggests that fewer farms are being consolidated and fewer farm operators are being displaced through sales of farms. 47 Egg Various p0pulation data are available in the published U.S. Census of Population for 1960 and 1970. Local government employment and state funds data are found in the 1967 U.S. Census of Governments while the 1967 Census of Manufactures provides data on manufacturing concerns. Information on recreation-related facilities is available in the 1967 Census of County Business. Data pertaining to farms and farm operators are provided by the Census of Agriculture for 1959, 1964 and 1969. Since some of the data have been compiled, percentages computed, and published in the 1967 County and City Data Book, this source is utilized where applicable. Data for federal expenditures for 1970 are published by the National Technical Information Service, and measures of distance and existence of an inter- state have been determined with the use of the Rand-McNally Road Atlas. Method pf Ana lys is The data will be analyzed through simple and partial correlation and stepwise multiple regression analysis. The only difficulty in using such techniques arises with two binary variables, change in land use and existence of an interstate highway. All other factors are interval level variables and all relationships are assumed to be linear. Furthermore, because in several cases confirmation of the ecological model would be found in obtaining negative correlations, those variables have been transposed by 48 multiplying by -1 so that all positive correlations appear- ing in the tables support the model and negative correla- tions do not. Furthermore, because of the large number of variables used in the study, the transposed variables will be marked by a (t) throughout the analysis to aid the reader. ‘9‘» a I‘ I... v . “_ n, 0 .t l '0 .0 l K I I CHAPTER III ZERO-ORDER CORRELATIONAL ANALYSIS In order to examine the relationships of various organizational and environmental indices to migration, Pearson's r will be calculated between all independent variables and the net-migration rate. In addition to these 34 independent variables, correlations will also be computed between migration and population change in both the urban and rural non-farm and the rural farm sectors. The analysis will also encompass the examination of two sub-samples. The first consists of the 167 counties where the 1960 labor force was principally engaged in agriculture (165) or mining (2), and the second includes the 60 more diversified counties where other types of industrial employment predominated in l960--primarily manufacturing (29) and retail trade (26). Underlying this division is the assumption that the second sub-sample represents diversification away from agriculture. This assumption rests on the fact that noncity populations historically in the United States have been primarily engaged in agriculture. That 55 of the 60 counties in the more diversified sub-sample, even though having fewer workers 49 50 in agriculture compared to other industries, still main- tained more farm workers than would be expected based on the U.S. occupational structure in 1960 and that 37 of these counties would have been placed in the agricultural group in 1950 indicate that this second sub-sample represents diversification away from agriculture. Since urbanization on one level can be viewed as the movement of a p0pu1ation from an agricultural to a nonagricultural sustenance base, such a schema can serve to clarify and test Groth's suggestion that rurality may be more important than functional diversity in determining ‘migration patterns. That is, the 167 agricultural or mining counties can be designated as rural while the 60 more diversified counties can be viewed as more urbanized non- metropolitan areas.1 Thus, an analysis utilizing these two sub-samples as well as the entire sample can Offer further insights into not only the relationship between rurality and functional specialization but also their relative impact on migration. The first step in this examination is to determine how the farm and non-farm sectors of nonmetropolitan county p0pu1ations relate to net-migration. Correlating migration wdth.changes in the size of both the urban and rural non- farm and the rural farm sectors not only measures the 1Although the criterion for determining a county's rurality in this study differs from Groth's, one of his three criteria is also based on occupation. 51 contribution of migration to population change but also gives an indication of how changes in these sectors influence migration. That is, from this second perspective population size in a particular sector of the sustenance structure serves as a surrogate measure for employment opportunities. Examination of these variables demonstrates that for the sample, rural and urban sub-samples respec- tively migration is more highly associated with changes in non-farm.population (.670, .573, .929) than with changes in the farm population (.138, .270, .059). This indicates, similar to previous studies, that migration is directly and positively related to the ability of a pOpulation to absorb displaced farmers and their children into a non- agricultural structure when agricultural employment declines. The relatively higher correlation between rural farm population change and migration in the rural sub-sample with its lower degree of urbanization than the entire sample, however, also indicates that an expanding agricultural sector is positively associated with migration. On the other hand, the extremely high correlation between the non- farm population and net-migration in urban counties suggests that the lower fertility rates among nonagricultural popula- tions may also affect the relationship between population growth in that sector and migration. That is, because population size is a function of fertility and mortality as well as migration, a low fertility rate which makes a comparatively small contribution will increase the relative 52 influence of migration in contributing to population growth. However, the large differences in the correlations yielded by the two independent variables in all three sets of counties also indicate that, in addition to the possible influence of differential fertility rates, migration is positively related to the ability of nonmetropolitan popu- lations to diversify away from agriculture. Organization and Environment Although moderate to low, correlations between organizational measures for the entire sample and the two sub-samples generally support the ecological model (see Table 1).2 The index of diversity which encompasses a county's entire employed population correlates most strongly with the net-migration rate in all three groups (.517, .503, .328 for the sample, rural and urban counties respectively). That the association between this variable and the net-migration rate is lower for the urban than for the rural sub-sample further suggests that this particular index may be less sensitive to structural differences in diversified areas than in specialized areas. Three of the four remaining variables correlating ‘with migration at .30 or above for the entire sample are Ineasures of manufacturing. Percentage employed in manufactur- ing is associated with migration at a level almost identical 2Significance levels for the results of this analysis as well as for the results of the stepwise multiple regres- sion and partial correlation analyses can be found in Appendix III. «A.

In addition, number of manufacturing categories and number of manufacturing firms with at least 20 employees yield correlations of .466 and .301 respec- tively for the 227 counties. However, all three variables have weaker relationships with migration in the urban sub- sample.

I. 5" (In 54 for, in part, through the inclusion criterion for this sub-sample, such results are to be expected; i.e., almost half the urban counties are designated as high in manu- facturing so that these variables are partially measuring strength of manufacturing activity in comparatively strong manufacturing areas. That a similar pattern holds between diversity and migration comparing the urban sub-sample to the other two groups also suggests not only a high degree of relationship between diversity and manufacturing but also the importance of manufacturing activity in the diversification of nonmetropolitan counties. Other farm income (transposed), the fourth variable, contradicts the ecological model correlating at -.427 with net-migration for the total sample. However, as pointed out in the previous chapter, the model suggests a relation- ship in either direction. Accordingly, the seemingly more plausible negative correlation between farm income and 'migration indicating a multiple-income circumstance to be a step between full-time farmer and migration was chosen to be tested and the variable transposed accordingly. Results now indicate, however, that it is more probable that the availability of off—the-farm employment to members of a farm family is either an inducement to other farmers to migrate into a county and/or allows existing farm operators to remain while other factors influence migration. Such "flip-flop" explanations in the model indicate, though, 55 that the model has not been highly develOped and further empirical explorations are needed. Similar to the manufacturing variables, other farm income yields a lower correlation with migration among urban counties than overall. That it also correlates (transposed) with manufacturing employment at -.528, -.524 and -.280 for the sample, rural and urban sub-samples suggests a fairly strong association with manufacturing.3 Thus, the lower correlation with migration in the urban sub-sample ‘may reflect other farm income's relationship with manu- facturing. On the other hand, the lower correlation may also be due to the lesser influence of farming in these 60 counties. Both percentage college students (.298) and per- centage employed in local government (-.295) correlate with net-migration near .30 for the sample; the respective correlations for the sub-samples are similar. That the latter variable is negatively associated with migration suggests that a minimal level of government services and hence employees are maintained whether or not a county is losing population through migration. It also suggests, Inoreover, that there may be a lag in cutting back positions in such counties while there may be a concomitant lag in expanding local government in areas that are growing through migration . 3Correlation matrices for the entire sample, rural and.urban sub-samples can be found in Appendix II. 56 With one exception, the remaining eleven variables correlate with net-migration at or below .25 for all three groups. Percentage in public administration and education, the only exception, correlates with net-migration at .309 in the urban sub-sample compared to .113 for the sample and a negligible .029 for rural counties indicating that public services may be a dimension of diversification that develops where either diversification and/or urbanization has reached some critical point. That is, a progression in diversification from agriculture to industry or trade to public services may exist. Finally, three variables are associated with net- migration in the urban sub-sample contrary to their relation- ships in the other two groups. Size of largest town and percentage with median income under three thousand correlate negatively while percentage on public relief correlates positively with net-migration among these 60 counties and vice versa for the sample and rural counties. The low correlations coupled with the small urban sample size, however, mitigate against making assertions about these differences or any similar differences concerning variables under the other three rubrics. An analysis of environmental variables shows that they also tend to confirm the ecological model although the most important of these factors have lower correlations with migration than do the most important organizational measures (see Table 2). Nearness to SMSA has the strongest 57 relationship with net-migration (.410, .400 and .303 for the sample, rural and urban sub-samples respectively) among environmental variables. Coupled with the strong associa- tion between diversity of county structure and migration, this suggests that diversity of structure, either of a county's population or easily accessible to it, is the most important factor in explaining the net-migration rate. TABLE 2 ZERO-ORDER CORRELATIONS BETWEEN MEASURES OF ENVIRONMENT AND NET-MIGRATION Rural . Urban Sample (Agr1culturally . .

The reasons for this may be identical to those suggested regarding local government employment, i.e., certain minimal levels are maintained and/or expansion or contrac- tion does not take place at the same rate as pOpulation size change through migration. However, this variable 58 also includes two other dimensions that may account for its negative correlation. Many of the costs of federal projects such as highways tend to be similar wherever they. are built; these stable costs will be reflected in a higher amount spent per capita in areas with smaller populations (the more rural areas) which demographers have indicated to be the areas with greatest population loss through migra- tion. The reduction in this correlation for urban counties compared to the entire sample tends to support such an explanation. In addition, rural congressmen may be better able to solicit funds and jobs for their constituents than urban legislators. Illustrative of this was the existence of post offices and personnel in rural areas that served extremely small numbers of residents in the 19603 compared ‘with the larger populations served per employee in large urban centers. Such explanations would also explain the negative correlations between federal employment and migra- tion in the sample and rural sub-sample. Finally, the nega- tive correlation between federal outlays and net-migration may reflect high governmental subsidies to farmers in the form of cash payments for crops and loans administered through the Department of Agriculture. One additional variable is associated with net- migration above .30 for the entire sample; nearness to cities of 25,000 or more correlates at .304. Comparing this with the higher correlation for the presumably more diversi- fied SMBATs in which the central city must have a 50,000 minimum.population supports the proposition that the greater c. 'I .‘J . 59 the organizational diversity, either of a population or easily accessible to it, the more positive will be the net- 'migration rate. Furthermore, for both these variables the correlations are lower in the urban sub-sample than in the other two groups suggesting that where diversification exists within a population, access to an even more diversi- fied structure has less influence on net-migration than where the population is more heavily specialized in agricultural sustenance activities. Opganizational and Environmental Change Switching the focus to variables indicating rates of organizational and environmental change provides an indication of how these two processes relate to migration. Although ecologists propose that on-going changes in popu- lation, organization, and environment (as well as technology) are reciprocally related, for the purpose of this study, migration is viewed as the dependent variable. This some- what arbitrary decision is based on the premise that it seems more logical that a change in either of the two posited independent variables will affect migration more directly than migration will affect either organizational or environmental change in nonmetropolitan areas. That is, it is more likely that the decision to locate a factory or establish an interstate will have a greater direct effect on migration in a particular nonmetropolitan area than vice versa. Among measures of organizational change, change in size of largest urban place correlates most strongly with net-migration for all three groups--.528, .501 and .679. on: bii (II H: w. 'OI ... I "I n.‘ l '1 // 60 for the sample, rural and urban sub-samples respectively (see Table 3). The higher association for urban counties, contrary to the pattern found among measures of organiza- tion, suggests that this variable is either measuring a different dimension of organization than the static vari- ables or reflecting a dimension of population change rather than organizational change. The low correlations between largest urban place in 1960 and net-migration as well as the negligible relationship between this independent variable and change in size of largest urban p1ace--.03, .07 and .03 respectively for the total sample, rural and urban groups respectively--also indicate that these two apparently related town size variables may be tapping different dimensions in regard to net-migration.

Furthermore, the correlation for the sample is similar to that for percentage college students in 1960 while the change variable is slightly higher for rural and lower for urban counties than the static variable. Although none of the seven other variables correlates with net-migration above .30 for the entire sample, sub- sample correlations reveal that various factors differ in their relationships with migration in rural and urban areas. Among the 167 rural counties percentage of insti- tutionalized population is positively related to migration (.230) although the comparable correlation is negative overall (-.179) and negligible for urban counties (-.011). This indicates that the establishment of such institutional facilities is much more important in inducing in-migration and/or in retarding out-migration of residents in rural areas than in urban areas where diversity of structure has developed along other lines. The remaining discrepancies between sub-samples and the entire sample follow the same pattern for measures of organizational change as for static organizational variables in that most of the differences occur in the urban sub- sample. Most importantly, change in percentage of military 62 personnel has the second highest correlation with net- migration among these 60 counties (.450). A comparison ‘with the negligible association in the rural sub-sample (.079) and the lack of association between military person- nel in 1960 and net-migration reflects the existence of military bases in some of the urban counties by 1970 and the build-up of armed forces personnel in the 19603. Furthermore, this also suggests that urban or diversified nonmetropolitan counties offering more services to military personnel than rural counties while still possessing rela- tively large amounts of unpOpulated land are attractive sites for military bases. Finally, two additional factors correlate more strongly with net-migration in the urban sub-sample than in the other two groups. In contrast to the negligible relationships found in both the entire sample and rural sub-sample, both change in the unemployment rate (-.226) and in percentage employed in public administration and education (-.l75) are more negatively associated with net- nflgration in the urban group. The latter variable follows the same pattern as percentage employed in public adminis- tration and education in 1960 in its stronger correlation for the urban group. However, the static variable is related positively with net-migration while the change variable, similar to other government-related variables, yields a 63 negative correlation.4 This indicates that although public services may be a more important dimension of diversifica- tion in urban counties compared to rural counties as dis- cussed earlier, the negative relationship between change in such employment and migration reflects either minimal necessary levels and/or particularly an inability to expand or contract public services quickly in response to popula- tion changes due to migration in urban as well as rural counties. A more precise analysis of these tentative explanations regarding government-related variables, however, must await future investigations encompassing population change per se. To an even greater extent any explanation regarding change in the unemployment rate must remain tenuous. It is possible, however, that this measure may reflect a time lag between individual migration and employ- 'ment among nonagricultural migrants. Change in average size of farm (transposed), the only measure of environmental change utilized in the study, moderately supports the ecological model correlating with net-migration at .361, .330 and .587 for the entire sample, rural and urban sub-samples respectively. This demonstrates that more positive net-migration rates are associated with smaller increases in average farm size. Such results also imply that a larger increase in farm 4Ten government-related correlations are negative ‘while five are positive; moreover, three of the five positive correlations with net-migration concern public administration and education employment in 1960. 64 size is related to a more negative net-migration rate. If both this implication and the ecological model are valid, the stronger association in the urban sub-sample may reflect a strong stream of farm migrants to nonagricul- tural niches in nearby towns which in turn would decrease the availability of jobs for inter-county migrants and thus stem.in-migration. The lower association between farm size change and migration in rural counties, on the other hand, would reflect the fewer nonagricultural employment opportunities available to either displaced farmers or inter-county migrants. Theoretical Implications This examination supports the two hypotheses drawn from the ecological model although correlations generally are low to moderate. Specifically, correlations support the hypothesis that both organization and environment have a direct effect on the net-migration rate, and the positive associations between the vast majority of variables and migration support the hypothesized direction of specific relationships.5 The higher associations obtained for the most important organizational variables compared with environ- nmntal variables among both static and change factors also 5Among the twelve indicators of organization and environment and changes in each that are most strongly associated with migration, only other farm income (trans- ;msed) and federal outlays do not correlate in the hypothe- sized direction. 1" 3:61 I?! 3" ‘O ’l .\ \J 65 indicate that the direct influence of the former is greater than the latter on net-migration. Findings further reveal that within each rubric the variable which measures total diversity of structure, either of or easily accessible to a population (diversity, SMSA, change in largest town), correlates most strongly with net-migration although the organizational change in largest town may be tapping population change rather than functional diversification. Regarding other variables, results indicate that manufacturing--measured in terms of employment, diversity of enterprises, and/or size--as well as the existence and growth of a college population are important factors in yielding more positive net-migration rates. A comparison of sub-samples reveals that diversity of structure has a greater impact on the net-migration rate in rural than in urban areas. However, these differences are better explained by the dimension of diversity away from agriculture in the inclusion criterion for urban than by urbanization itself. Such results point out the problems inherent in attempting to discern the influence of various ecological factors when utilizing a measure of rurality versus urbanity based on occupation. Two solutions to this dilemma are possible, however. One is to determine if "urban" has a meaning other than one based on occupation, and if so, to develOp indices based on these other dimensions. Parenthetically it should be noted, though, that even Wirth's 66 classic criteria of size, density, and heterogeneity in determining degree of urbanization rests to some extent on an occupational assumption since the relatively larger amount of unpOpulated land needed for farming mitigates against as large and dense settlements as those comprising populations not engaged in agriculture.6 The other alternative is suggested by the results concerning percentage employed in public administration and education. That is, there may be a pattern such that at one structural point diversification tends in one direction, e.g., agriculture to manufacturing or trade, and at other points tends in other directions, e.g., manufacturing to public services. Thus, by determining the critical structural points at which diversification entails different dimensions it may be possible to categorize counties on the basis of occupational and occupation-related variables as to degree of urbanization and then within different categories explore various ecological relationships. Moreover, the establish- ment of such critical points may help to clarify more fully the process of a population's occupational movement from primary to secondary to tertiary industries. Finally, although the two sub-samples yield differ- ent correlations between the various independent variables and net-migration, the most important variables in one group with few exceptions correspond to the most important in the other. Because of this consistency, all multiple and partial correlational analyses will encompass only the entire sample. 6Louis Wirth, "Urbanism.as a Way of Life," The American Journal of Sociology, 44 (July, 1938), 1-24. '- CHAPTER IV STEPWISE MULTIPLE REGRESSION AND PARTIAL CORRELATIONAL ANALYSES Extending the analysis of net-migration from simple correlations to stepwise multiple regression will not only further explicate the degree of variance in the dependent variable explained by the three sets of eco- logical variables and the one measure of environmental change but will also indicate how much each independent variable adds to the explanation provided by all previously entered variables. Basically the computation of multiple stepwise regression beyond the first step (where the single best predictor of the dependent variable is entered) entails adding each variable on the strength of the product of its normalized beta squared if added at that step multiplied by its tolerance or the degree to which the measure taps a different linear dimension than those variables already entered; this product equals the partial correlation coefficient squared. In this examination, all ecological variables will be included in the appropriate equations regardless of the strength or direction of association with net-migration shown by simple correlations since it is possible that in controlling for factors 67 greviou pendent wrong? uted I tion c (a? CI beta c also I Vat-1 thoS Ofv the 68 previously entered into the equation, a particular inde- pendent variable may be related to net-migration more strongly or in the opposite linear direction than indi- cated by Pearson's r. In carrying out the analysis, the multiple correla- tion coefficient (R), the variance explained (R2) and the change in variance explained by the addition of a variable (R2 Change) will be included in tables. The normalized beta controlling for all other independent variables will also be listed although the generally low to moderate simple correlations caution against strong predictive assertions based on this statistic. Moreover, the rela- tively high degree of association among several of the independent variables suggested by the analysis of zero- order correlations also indicates that the beta weights may not accurately reflect the actual relationship between some independent variables and the net-migration rate. Examination of migration using partial correlational analysis in the second section of this chapter will help to clarify the extent of such multicollinearity among those independent variables explaining the greatest amount of variance in the net-migration rate. In addition to its use in examining more closely those variables contributing most fully to the explanation of variance, partial correlational analysis will be utilized in the first section of the chapter to define more precisely the relationship between the first variable entered into 69 each stepwise regression equation and other independent variables highly correlated with the first variable regard- less of their associations with net-migration. This is because, as noted above, the variable entered on the first step is simply that factor which is the best predictor, based on the zero-order correlation coefficient, of the dependent variable. However, it is possible that the measure may, in fact, be a surrogate for or a composite of other factors used in the study. Thus, prior to each examination utilizing stepwise regression analysis, partial correlations will be computed using net-migration as the dependent variable in order to clarify the relationship between the first variable entered and others closely associated with it. Specifically, the other variables include all independent measures under the same ecological rubric correlating above .50 with the first independent variable in the equation. STEPWISE MULTIPLE REGRESSION ANALYSIS Measures of Opganization and Environment Among the eighteen organizational variables, the index of diversity, correlating most highly with net- migration at .517, is the first variable entered into the regression equation. That the association between per- centage employed in manufacturing and net-migration (.516) was found to be almost as high and the two independent variables correlate with each other at .668 necessitates A n v. .1‘ -. 70 further investigation of these relationships. Although partial correlational analysis of the two variables reveals that each correlates at a much lower level with net-migration suggesting that to some extent they are measuring the same thing (or tapping the same linear dimension), they retain their relative order of importance. Specifically, the partial correlations for diversity and manufacturing equal .271 and .268 respectively. Two other variables, number of manufacturing categories (.751) and number of manufacturing firms with at least 20 employees (.512), are also highly associated with diversity. Including all four variables, the partial correlation for each with migration equals .201, .247, .079 and -.110 respectively for diversity, manufacturing employment, manufacturing categories and manufacturing firms of 20 or more. In other words, the correlations between the last two variables and net-migration fall to extremely low levels compared with both their simple correlations (.466 and .301 respectively) and the partial correlations for the first two measures; however, the association between diversity and migration also is weakened more than that between manufacturing employment and the dependent variable yielding a reversal in their relative positions. These results suggest that, although the structural index contains other dimensions, to a great extent it is measuring the influence of various aspects of manufacturing on net-migration; such results are not 'r' " n .O 'I .4 - 71 surprising since manufacturing is one of the two major avenues diversification takes in these nonmetropolitan counties. However, that diversity is still the best single predictor of net-migration, encompasses more aspects of manufacturing than percentage in manufacturing, and maintains that position vis-a-vis partial correlational analysis between only diversity and percentage in manufactur- ing indicates it is a better overall measure than the latter to-enter first into the equation in seeking the optimal solution to explaining the greatest amount of variance with the fewest independent variables. Results of stepwise multiple regression show that all eighteen organizational variables collectively explain almost 54 per cent of the variance in net-migration (see Table 4). However, seven of these measures account for more than 50 per cent with each adding at least one per cent to the explained variance. In contrast, the eleven remaining variables only explain an additional 3.5 per cent and none increases the amount of variance explained by at least one per cent. Comparing the seven highest ranking variables with their relative position utilizing Pearson's r demon- strates that five of them--diversity, percentage local government employment, percentage college population, per- centage employed in manufacturing, number of manufacturing categories--also correlate individually close to or above .30 with net-migration. Two of these five, however, 72 TABLE 4 RESULTS OF STEPWISE MULTIPLE REGRESSION OF MEASURES OF ORGANIZATION WITH NET-MIGRATION . 2 R2 Beta Multiple R R Change Weight Diversity .518 .268 .268 .271 Local Government Employment .575 .331 .063 -.203 College .617 .381 .050 .239 Manufacturing Employment .658 .433 .052 .261 Largest Town .689 .474 .041 -.375 Manufacturing Categories .701 .491 .017 .273 Public Relief (t) .710 .504 .013 -.077 Unemployment (t) .716 .513 .009 .161 Other Farm Income (t) .723 .522 .009 -.082 Hotels .728 .530 .008 .150 Public Administration .730 .533 .003 .068 Military .732 .535 .002 .055 Amusement Places .733 .537 .002 .070 Income Under $3000 (t) .733 .538 .001 .047 Institutionalized .734 .539 .001 .026 Female Participation .734 .539 .000 -.035 Manufacturing Firms .734 .539 .000 .040 Farm Categories .734 .539 .000 .006 contribute less to the explanation than their simple cor- relations with net-migration would indicate. Both percent- age in manufacturing and number of manufacturing categories, the second and third most important variables in the simple correlational analysis, are entered at steps four and six respectively. In regard to the former, the above partial correlational analysis indicates that the high relationship between diversity and percentage in manufacturing coupled with diversity being entered first would decrease the U1 u, 1': 73 manufacturing variable's contribution since the structural index, to some extent, measures the same linear dimension. Similarly, the extremely low partial correlation for manu- facturing categories and net-migration controlling for diversity and manufacturing employment as well as number of manufacturing firms of 20 or more indicates that manu- facturing categories is tapping a dimension similar to these other variables. On the other hand, two variables that ranked in the lower half in the simple correlational analysis collec- tively contribute more than five per cent to the explained variance. Specifically, size of largest urban place (r = .158) is entered on the fifth step, and percentage on public relief (r = -.021) is entered on the seventh. This suggests that these two variables tap linear dimensions both different from other variables more highly correlated with net-migration and more strongly than other low- correlating measures. By contrast, two variables correlating at more than .30 in the earlier analysis add less than one per cent apiece to the explained variance. The negligible contribu- tion of number of manufacturing firms with at least 20 employees can be attributed to its high association with diversity and the other two manufacturing variables as partial correlational analysis illustrates. Similarly, the small contribution of other farm income may result 74 from its fairly strong relationship with percentage employed inmmanufacturing. Turning attention to the six environmental variables, the first factor to be entered into the stepwise multiple regression equation is nearness to an SMSA. Among other . measures under this rubric, only nearness to a city of 25,000 or more, correlating at .766, is associated with this independent variable at a level above .50. Partial correlational analysis yields relationships of .289 between SMSA and net-migration and -.016 between city of 25,000 or more and migration compared with simple correlations of .410 and .304 respectively. Thus, despite the reduction in association between SMSA and net-migration, it remains stronger than the relationship between city of 25,000 or more and net-migration when the influence of the other independent variable is controlled. A perusal of the results of stepwise multiple regression shows that the six environmental variables collectively explain only 23.3 per cent of the variance in net-migration (see Table 5). Moreover, nearness to an SMSA and federal outlays account for 21.6 per cent of this and are the only variables individually contributing at least one per cent to the explanation. These findings also reveal that the rank order of independent variables is identical to those based on Pearson's r with one excep- tion, the decline in rank from third to fourth of nearest city of 25,000 or more. This is most likely due to the 75 close relationship between city of 25,000 or more and SMSA as illustrated both by the high correlations between them and the negligible association between the former and net-migration controlling for the latter.

Including all vari- ables under both rubics in one stepwise multiple regression equation illustrates even more clearly the difference in their relative explanatory power. SMSA, the highest ranking environmental variable, is entered at step eleven and adds less than one per cent to the variance explained by the ten organizational variables preceding it while other 76 environmental variables contribute even less (see Table 6). Furthermore, including the environmental variables increases the amount of variance explained by organizational measures TABLE 6 RESULTS OF STEPWISE MULTIPLE REGRESSION OF MEASURES OF ORGANIZATION AND ENVIRONMENT WITH NET-MIGRATIONa , 2 R2 Beta Mu1t1ple R R Change Weight Diversity .518 .268 .268 .215 Local Government Employment 575 .331 .063 -.210 College .617 .381 .050 .211 Manufacturing Employment .658 .433 .052 .203 Largest Town .659 .474 .041 -.368 Manufacturing Categories .701 .491 .017 .252 Public Relief (t) .710 .504 .013 -.096 Unemployment (t) .716 .513 .009 .165 Other Farm Income (t) .723 .522 .009 -.097 Hotels .728 .530 .008 .161 Nearness to SMSA .732 .536 .006 .163 Public Administration .736 .541 .005 .084 Nearness to City .737 .544 .003 -.099 Federal Outlays .738 .545 .001 -.072 Military .740 .547 .002 .048 Amusement Places .740 .548 .001 -.064 Female Participation .741 .549 .001 -.046 Interstate .741 .550 .001 .031 Manufacturing Firms .742 .550 .000 .054 Institutionalized .742 .550 .000 .014 Farm Categories .742 .550 .000 -.013 Income Under $3000 (t) .742 .550 .000 .011 aState Revenues and Federal Employment, two environmental variables, were not entered in the equation because of extremely low F-Levels (.001) after the last step listed; the beta weight of each if entered at this step would be .001 and -.002 respectively. 77 only 1.1 per cent. In addition to demonstrating the over- whelming influence of organization, these findings also indicate that the two highest ranking variables in the analysis of environment alone may be highly associated with high-ranking organizational factors. The correlations between both SMSA and federal outlays and diversity (.507 and -.519 respectively) tend to confirm this suggestion. Because of these correlations and in spite of the results of the combined regression equation showing the negligible influence of environment a partial correlational analysis will be included in the second section of this chapter encompassing both the seven organizational and the two environmental factors contributing over one per cent to the explained variance in separate analyses in order to clarify further relationships between organization and environment. iMeasures of Organizational and Environmental Change Shifting the focus of analysis to measures of ecological change indicates that change in largest urban place is the best single predictor of net-migration among organizational change variables; moreover, no other inde- pendent variable correlates with it above .50.1 Overall, the nine variables explain only 37.2 per cent of the 1As pointed out in Chapter III, the relationship between change in size of largest urban place and migration ummeore accurately reflect population change than organizational change. 78 variation in net-migration, and five of these--change in size of largest town, military, institutionalized, college population, and percentage in public administration and education--explain almost 36 per cent of the variance with each contributing at least one per cent (see Table 7).

Specifically, change in percentage college students ranked second but is entered on the fourth step in the regression equation after change in percentage military and in percentage institutionalized. In addition to these four variables, percentage employed in 79 public administration and education, one of the remaining variables each of which yields a Pearson's r under .10 with net-migration, is entered on the fifth step and is the only other variable adding at least one per cent to the explained variance. This indicates that it measures not only a linear dimension different from the four variables previously entered but also one that none of the other extremely low correlated factors either taps or measures as strongly. Adding change in average farm size, the only measure of environmental change, to the organizational change variables raises the total variance explained from 37.2 to 46.1 per cent (see Table 8). Furthermore, this variable ranks second in importance to change in largest urban place while two other factors-~change in percentage military and in the female participation rate--rank third and fourth respectively and also contribute over one per cent to the explained variance. Comparing this regression equation to that generated by organizational change variables alone reveals that in addition to the largest town variable only change in percentage military retains a similar rank in the second equation. On the other hand, the other three major variables in the first equation contribute less to the total explanation and are entered at least two steps later in this equation while change in the female partici- pation rate, in addition to being entered earlier, increases its contribution from almost zero to 2.4 per cent.

Theoretical Implications The findings using stepwise multiple regression analysis support the hypothesis that organization has a stronger direct effect than environment on migration. Among static variables, the seven most important factors explain half the variance in the net-migration rate while 81 all six environmental variables explain slightly under one- fourth. That the relationship between environment and migra- tion becomes negligible in the combined regression equation, however, suggests that a high degree of collinearity exists between indicators of organization and of environment; such possible associations will be explored further in the follow- ing section. Contrary to the regression analysis of static variables, this examination shows that the one environ- mental change variable, change in farm size, maintains its relative importance, as indicated by zero-order correla- tions, and adds to the total variance explained when it is included in the ecological change equation. Its inclusion also influences the impact of various organizational change variables on the dependent variable. This suggests, similar to the static analysis, a high degree of collinearity between variables under both independent rubrics and/or the possibility that changes in land patterns has both a direct impact on migration and an indirect effect through organization. Among the sixteen variables contributing over one per cent to the explanation of variance in the net-migration rate in the five equations, beta weights indicate that six factors do not support the hypothesized direction of rela- tionship posited on the basis of the ecological model. Three of the six measure governmental inputs. A fourth factor, percentage on public relief, may reflect governmental 82 activity as well as level of economic well-being. Thus, the explanations for the negative relationship between govern- 'ment and migration given in the previous chapter may also apply to this variable. The negative beta weight for change in institutionalized population reflects the negative zero- order correlation in the sample and urban sub-sample. Coupled with the positive simple coefficient for the rural sub-sample, this suggests that although the location of special institutions in rural areas may help to stem popu- lation losses through migration in those counties losing population most rapidly, they are of little importance in bringing about a more positive net-migration rate in nonmetropolitan counties in general. Therefore, that this variable contributes one per cent to the explained variance yet is negatively associated with net-migration reflects both its positive impact in the more rural counties and the fact that such counties are experiencing higher popu- lation losses through migration than more diversified nonmetropolitan counties. Finally, the negative beta ‘weight for size of largest urban place may reflect chang- ing patterns of urbanization.2 PARTIAL CORRELATIONAL ANALYSIS In order to clarify the relationships between various independent variables and their effects on the variance in 2A full discussion of this possible explanation based on results of simple, regression and partial correlational analysis will be included in the last chapter. 83 net-migration, partial correlations of all variables in each regression equation contributing at least one per cent to the explained variance of the dependent variable will be examined in this section. Specifically;each independent variable will be correlated with net-migration while controlling for all other major factors in the same regression equation. In addi- tion, each variable's zero-order correlation for the entire sample will also be included in tables, and all measures will be listed in the order in which they were entered into the respective regression equations to provide for easier com- parability with previous analyses. Measures pf Organization and Environment Examination of the seven organizational variables contributing over one per cent to the explained variance of net-migration reveals several differences with the results of the two previous analyses (see Table 9). Percentage college students yields the highest partial correlation followed by size of largest urban place; furthermore, both register higher partial correlations than their respective TABLE 9 PARTIAL CORRELATIONS BETWEEN MEASURES OF ORGANIZATION AND NET-MIGRATION Partial r Simple r Diversity .204 .517 Local Government Employment . -.292 -.295 College .409 .298 Manufacturing Employment .218 .516 Largest Town -.316 .158 Manufacturing Categories .199 .466 Public Relief (t) -.158 -.021 84 simple correlations and are the only two measures correlating above .30 with net-migration in this analysis. lkiaddition,it should be noted that contrary to its low positive simple cor- relation, size of largest urban place has a negative associa- tion with net-migration here and thus runs counter to the ecological model. It may be, as other studies suggest, that this relationship reflects the existence of regional centers in counties more distant from SMSAH; that is,counties gen- erally characterized by less positive or more negative net- migration rates compared with those located nearer metro- polises. However, a Pearson's r of .232 between SMSA and size of largest urban place indicates that, if anything, urban places closer to SMSA's tend to be larger. Among the remaining five variables, percentage on public relief also explains a higher percentage of the unexplained variance than its simple correlation with migration indicates while percentage in local government yields almost identical associations with the dependent variable. By contrast, reduced partial correlations at about .20 for diversity, percentage in manufacturing and number of manufacturing categories reflect the high inter- relationships earlier found between these variables which in turn lessen the independent influence of each on migration. In contrast to the inconsistencies among measures of organization, the two most important environmental factors yield similarly weakened associations with net-migration. Specifically, the partial correlations for SMSA and federal 85 outlays are .292 and -.240 compared with simple correlations of .410 and -.379 respectively. That these two variables ‘maintain their relative ranks supports the previous examina- tions showing SMSA to be the most important environmental factor affecting net-migration. Combining the two sets of variables indicates that environment has little direct influence on the relationship between organization and migration; all partial correlations remain within .03 of what they yield in the organizational analysis alone (see Table 10). Furthermore, that the partial correlation for largest urban place is reduced only slightly does not give further insight into the negative association found above between that variable and migration. On the other hand, results show that the two environmental variables TABLE 10 PARTIAL CORRELATIONS BETWEEN MEASURES OF ORGANIZATION AND ENVIRONMENT AND NET-MIGRATION Partial r Simple r Diversity .179 .517 Local Government Employment -.288 -.295 College .401 .298 Manufacturing Employment .189 .516 Largest Town -.307 .158 Manufacturing Categories .192 .466 Public Relief (t) -.159 -.021 Nearness to SMSA .081 .410 Federal Outlays -.019 -.379 86 are negligibly associated with net-migration when control- ling for organization. Such findings suggest that federal expenditures, as might be expected, are relatively consistent among counties with similar sustenance structures. This analysis also indicates even more than the sub-sample comparisons of simple correlations that the internal sus- tenance structure has a stronger direct influence on migra- tion than access to an SMSA. That is, regardless of the difference in distance from a metropolis of two county populations, if they have similar sustenance structures, population change through migration will be affected similarly. However, that nearness to SMSA and diversity correlate at .507 suggests that the former variable may have an indirect influence on migration in that popula- tions near SMSA's may be organized into more diversified structures than populations farther away. Measures ofO anizational and nv ronmenta rhange Examining indices of organizational change reveals only slight differences between these results and those of the two previous analyses (see Table 11). Although its association with migration declines slightly, change in size of largest urban place remains the most important variable and the only one with a partial above .30. Change in percentage military ranks second, and the other three measures yield partial correlations between .15 and .20. 87 TABLE 11 PARTIAL CORRELATIONS BETWEEN MEASURES OF ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE AND NET-MIGRATION Partial r Simple r Change in: Largest Town .449 .528 Military .227 .238 Institutionalized -.157 -.l79 College .188 .305 Public Administration -.l79 -.018 The most noticeable differences between these findings and earlier examinations are the increase in explanatory power of change in percentage employed in public administration and education (although still low) and the decrease of change in percentage college students. Similar to the stepwise regression results, this indicates the former measures a linear dimension different from vari- ables entered before it and the latter taps to some extent the same linearity as other variables of organizational change. Finally, while never strong influences, change in percentage institutionalized and in employees in public administration and education yield negative simple and partial correlations with net-migration contrary to what was hypothesized. Regarding the former, it may reflect the possibly greater predominance of old-age facilities in some counties characterized by high age-structures 88 which are in turn induced by high out-migration of the young; thus, this variable may represent more directly changes in population rather than in organization. The latter inde- pendent variable, on the other hand, reflects the generally negative relationships between public service or governmental variables and migration discussed in the previous chapter. Partial correlations of the highest ranking measures of change incorporating the environmental change in average farm size also yield results similar to those found in the earlier analyses (see Table 12). The only exception to this is the much higher association between change in the female participation rate and net-migration in this examina- tion. Although still fairly low, the partial correlation suggests that when controlling for other changes in organiza- tion and environment, net-migration is positively related to the availability to women of occupational niches in the sustenance structure.

This indi- cates that the particular variables used in this study may not represent environment consistently well. However, since the three environmental factors used in the partial correlational analyses represent very different aspects of environment, it seems more likely that not all facets of environment affect migration equally. Specifically, SMSA represents access to more diversified organizational structures; federal outlays, the impact of other govern- mental units; and farm size change, internal land pattern change. On the other hand, the different results may also indicate that the interrelationships among the processes of pOpulation, organizational and environmental change are of a different order than that reflected by indicators of organization and environment measured at one point in time. Theoretical Implications Partial correlational analysis, similar to the previous two examinations, indicates that organization has a direct effect on migration as hypothesized. The differ- ences between simple and partial correlation coefficients, 90 though, reveals close relationships among several variables. The lowered partials for diversity and the two manufactur- ing variables demonstrate that all three to some extent are measuring manufacturing activity. On the other hand, higher partials for college, largest town and public relief indicate that each has a stronger impact on net- migration when controlling for other organizational factors than each has independently. Finally, the consistency between coefficients for local government employment suggests that this variable has a relationship with net- migration which remains unaffected by other independent variables. The examination of static variables also indicates that environment has little impact on migration when con- trolling for organization; both regression and partial correlational analysis show a necessity for modifying this part of the ecological model. That is, the regres- sion equation and partials combining static organizational and environmental variables indicate that, if a direct relationship exists between environment and migration, it is negligible, although the strong correlation between diversity and SMSA suggests that environment does affect migration indirectly through its impact on organization. Among variables measuring ecological change, change in size of largest urban place and change in farm size consistently rank first and second in all three analyses 91 in their impact on migration. However, difficulties exist in both cases regarding just what part of the ecological model is being measured. As suggested before, change in largest town may tap population rather than organizational change. Perhaps more importantly from a theoretical view- point, change in farm size, the only measure of environ- mental change, simultaneously reflects changes in organiza- tion, i.e., a change in land patterns implies a change in sustenance organization. Furthermore, if farm size change more accurately measures organizational than environmental change, this study indicates that environment only affects migration indirectly through organization as shown by re- sults of the analysis of static variables. Such an inter- pretation of the variable supports Sly's suggestion that the land pattern variable he used may more accurately reflect organizational than strictly environmental change.3 If this is the case, than it is neither the different facets of environment being tested nor the difference between static and processual variables that have produced differing results concerning the impact of environment on migration but rather that change in farm size more appropriately measures organizational change. This study then indicates that organizational change has a direct effect on net-migra- tion but the impact of environmental change remains to be tested. 3s1y, 627. 92 Stepwise Multiple Regression of Selected Variables To clarify further the relative impact of organiza- tion and environment beyond the simple and multiple corre- lational analyses employing all variables, those static factors which previous examinations have shown to be most closely associated with migration have been placed into three groups within a stepwise multiple regression equation with each set being forced into the equation on the basis of the importance of each in previous analyses. In order of inclusion the three sets are organization (six vari- ables), environmental locational factors (two) and environ- mental inputs (one). The specific variables correspond to those utilized in the partial correlational analysis with two exceptions. Percentage on public relief is not included because both its simple and partial correlation coefficients are low. On the other hand, nearness to a city of 25,000 is added because of its relatively high simple correlation with net-migration although its extremely close association with nearness to an SMSA (.765) decreases its influence in the environmental equation. Furthermore, it is included because this examination is concerned with the impact of location near central places, as measured by population size. Results reveal, similar to previous examinations, that organization has a direct influence on net-migration while the impact of environment, whether locational or 93 relating to federal inputs, is negligible when organization explains as much as it can (see Table 13). Specifically, organization explains almost half the variance in the net- migration rate while each set of environmental variables adds less than one per cent to the explanation. Thus, this analysis indicates again the need to modify the ecological model by positing a negligible direct relationship between environment and migration.

It should be noted, however, 94 that nearness to a city of 25,000, not discussed before, yields a negative beta weight contrasted to a positive simple correlation with migration. That the distance to a city is identical to the distance to an SMSA in 135 cases, i.e., the closest large central place is an SMSA, indicates that small cities remote from SMSA's have little impact on reversing high negative net-migration rates in nearby counties. Furthermore, this suggests, as does the negative relationship between largest urban place and net- ‘migration, that large towns and/or small cities do not serve as central places in the fullest sense of not only providing a wide variety of services but also attracting migrants to surrounding areas because of such services. One explanation for such findings and their implications for population policies will be discussed in the conclud- ing'chapter. CHAPTER V CONCLUSIONS The Ecological Model Hawley's ecological model posits with respect to migration that although the competitive process is the primary factor leading to either territorial or structural differentiation, environment, population, and secondarily individual technologies have a direct yet weaker influence on the differentiating process. Because competition occurs within an organizational structure which sets the rules of competition, the model has been modified and organization has been posited to have both a direct and a stronger impact upon differentiation than does environment. Utilizing the modified model, this study focusses on that part concerned with both the direct and relative influence of organization and environment on migration or the process of territorial differentiation. Specifically, it is posited that the higher the level of organizational diversity and the higher the level of environmental resources, the more positive will be the net-migration rate. Results indicate that when considered alone, both organization and environment have a direct impact on net-migration with the direction of association between the 95 96 majority of indicators of each and migration supporting the ‘model. Lastly, among both sets of factors, that variable which measures diversity of structure, either of or easily accessible to a population, correlates most strongly with the dependent variable. When the two sets of variables are combined utiliz- ing stepwise multiple regression and partial correlational analyses, the relationship between organization and net- migration is maintained while the influence of environment becomes almost negligible. On the other hand, the high association between the environmental variable SMSA and organizational diversity indicates that environment may affect migration indirectly through its impact on organiza- tion. That is, where a population is located may be either more or less conducive to the development of a sustenance structure that will in turn have a direct impact on net- migration. This study then indicates a need to modify the ecological model by positing that organization has a rela- tively strong direct effect on migration while environment affects territorial differentiation indirectly through its effect in bringing about organizational diversification. Methodological Considerations Methodologically, the correlations between several variables and net-migration in this study point out the difficulty in constructing variables meant to measure one particular aspect of only one component of the ecological complex. For example, among variables of change results 97 suggest that change in size of largest urban place and in percentage institutionalized may also be measuring aspects of population in addition to organizational change while change in farm size may more accurately represent organiza- tional rather than environmental change. Somewhat dif- ferently, the negative partial between percentage on public relief (transposed) and net-migration corresponds to the negative associations between most government-related variables and the dependent variable. This suggests that, although percentage on public relief still measures a facet of organization, it may more accurately represent the level of local governmental welfare services in a county than sustenance level. This study has also experimented with several nonemployment based variables, some of which have been used before and others that have not. Two measures of manufacturing not based on employment are incorporated in addition to the more commonly used percentage of manu- facturing employees. Number of manufacturing categories correlates relatively highly while number of firms.with 20 or more employees yields a moderate association with net- migration. However, partial correlational analysis of all three manufacturing variables and diversity greatly reduces the influence of the nonemployment based measures. On the other hand, the greater combined influence of the two on the relationship between diversity and migration compared with percentage employed in manufacturing and the dependent variable indicates that the two nonemployment 98 based variables measure to some extent linear dimensions of manufacturing not totally accounted for in the employment variable. Among other nonemployment based factors, per- centage on public relief, other farm income and federal outlays vary in importance among the three analyses, and change in average farm size consistently yields moderate relationships with net-migration while none of the other seven such variables is closely associated with migration. Areas for Further Research The results of this study also indicate the need for further research in several areas. Despite its rela- tively high correlation with net-migration and the inclusion of several aspects of manufacturing, the particular index of diversity used in this study apparently is not sensitive to all structural nuances. This is most clearly illustrated by both the increased partial correlation of college pOpula- tion and the lesser impact of diversity in the urban sub- sample. Such results indicate the need for further explora- tion in two directions. Specifically, since no set of variables comparable to those measuring manufacturing represents retail trade although ahmost half the more diversified counties in the sample could be characterized as being engaged in such activity, further investigation of the index should be undertaken encompassing various facets of both manufacturing and trade in nonmetropolitan counties. Moreover, the results indicate, similar to Groth's findings, the continuing need to test different types of indices until one is constructued that both 99 incorporates other aspects of diversification, such as colleges, not tapped by this index and is equally useful at all levels of urbanization as measured by nonagricultural employment.1 Although it is expected that different independent variables will correlate with the dependent variable at different levels in any study of this type, comparison among static and processual variables of organization and environment suggest two specific areas of inquiry. The differential influences of static organizational variables and their counterparts measuring change emphasize the need for more rigorous examination of the interrelationships between the two. Specifically, it may be, for example, that starting at a base of 15 per‘cent, a 10 per cent increase in manufacturing employment may have a different impact on the migration rate than starting at a base of 35 per cent; thus, research should focus on determining if and where critical points of changing influence exist. The dissimilar impact of environment in the two types of combined regression and partial correlational examinatiOns also indicates the need for a clearer understanding of why environment measured at one point in time has a negligible influence on migration while change in environment has a relatively strong impact, although as noted earlier this difference may be due to the dissimilarity of measures used in the study. 1Groth, l9. 100 In addition, among static organizational variables a general pattern emerges where migration is associated ‘most strongly with that variable measuring structural diversity most completely followed by those measuring ‘manufacturing while other factors representing other specific areas of diversification correlate at lower levels. Such results could reasonably be expected. On the other hand, no comparable rationale exists for explaining the dissimilar correlations between various environmental variables and net-migration underscoring Hawley's comment that environment is so diffuse it needs redefining for every investigation. Moreover, until the various facets of environment represented in this study and others are explored more thoroughly and delineated precisely, the theoretical utility of this component of the ecological complex will remain weak.2 The generally negative associations between government-related variables and net-migration indicate that the causal relationship between public or governmental services and population change through migration also requires clarification. In particular, the consistently negative relationship between percentage in local govern- ment, measured in mid-decade, and migration suggests that the direction of association may be related to the relative inflexibility of government to expand or contract in response to migration rather than increases or decreases in 2Hawley, 1967, 330. lOl governmental employment opportunities affecting migration. Yet, the small positive simple correlation for percentage in public administration and education in 1960 suggests that government activity does affect the dependent variable. This apparent discrepancy can be resolved in at least two ways. First, the process of migration may yield differences in the local government employment to population ratio that are only "corrected" after the decadal census counts. Such an eXplanation could also account for the negative correlations yielded by three other variables-- federal employment, change in percentage employed in public administration and education, and federal outlays for fiscal 1970. However, this explanation does not account for the positive correlation between migration and 1960 employment in public administration and education which is measured by precisely that population data which would be used to make adjustments. On the other hand, since public administration and education employment is actually a composite of employment stemming from all branches of government, it is also plausible that the whole may be related positively with migration while at least the local and federal parts are not. That no variable measures county governmental employ- ‘ment and the only measure of state inputs refers to revenues which also includes monetary inputs other than payrolls preclude further analysis here. However, this explanation does not account for the negative correlation between 102 change in percentage employed in public administration and education and net-migration which should be positive if it were totally valid. Thus, both these tentative explanations of government-related factors and the variables themselves require further examination. Diversification into the establishment of resort or recreational activities is represented in this study by number of both hotels and amusement places although neither correlates above .25 with net-migration. Moreover, excluding their strong intercorrelation, both correlate above .50 only with size of largest urban place and number of manufacturing firms with 20 or more employees among all independent variables. This suggests that both these recreational variables may actually tap a dimension of diversification in towns particularly associated with medium-sized or larger manufacturing concerns. Thus, it appears that neither variable represents recreational/ resort activity so much as urban-industrial activity indi- cating the need for developing other indices to determine the effect of recreational/resort facilities on population change through net-migration. Apparent inconsistencies in the correlations among largest urban place, nearness to SMSA, and net-migration suggest another area requiring further exploration. In this study the simple correlation for the urban (more diversified) sub-sample as well as the partial correlation for the entire sample show a negative relationship between 103 size of largest urban place and net-migration. Yet size of largest urban place and net-migration are both positively related to nearness to an SMSA for this sub-sample and the entire sample. In otheruwords,although larger urban places (as measured by the largest town in each county) tend to be located in those counties nearer to an SMSA which also correlates more positively with net-migration, size of largest place, controlling for diversification, is related to more negative net-migration rates. These inconsistencies appear to be the result of changing patterns of urbanization or small town growth stemming from changing patterns and modes of transportation. Specifically, Lemon notes that in the eighteenth century fourth-order central places were located on either major roads or navigable streams and served primarily as commercial centers while the preemption of transport and commercial functions by Philadelphia prevented the growth to fourth- order centers of towns near that city. In the twentieth century Irwin finds a small positive correlation between interstate location and county population growth comparable to that found in this study between interstates and migra- tion while the U.S. Department of Agriculture's report on rural America in the 19703 indicates that such roads are particularly important in explaining growth of Southern towns3 3Lemon, 502-3, 510; Irwin, 9; U.S. Department of Agriculture, p. 22. The correlation between interstates and net-migration in this study has not been discussed so far because it is below .30 and does not add at least one per cent to the explanation of variance. 104 In addition, Warner argues that transportational changes after 1920 have affected the physical form of the city and by inference the pattern of urbanization with regard to smaller centers. That is, the increasing availa- bility of the automobile after that date has made living in nearby towns and commuting to jobs in large cities more feasible inducing the growth of towns near metropolises. MOreover, the introduction of the motor truck in the first thirty years of the century and the development of the U.S. Route System in the 19203, primarily through improvements on existing roads, provided an alternative to railroad transport of freight. The railroad system, however, remained intact until after 1948 due to the delay in con- struction of a fuller highway network prompted by the Depression and World War II. Thus, after 1920 and particularly after 1948 the transport function of regional railroad centers declined. Finally, Warner suggests that perhaps the most important ramification of this change in transportation was the lengthening of distance and the lessening of costs involved in short-haul freight transport as trucks superceded handcarts and horse-drawn wagons in cities. This in turn allowed manufacturing firms to enjoy greater spatial freedom in regard to location beginning in the 19203 and again especially after 1948 with the improvement of roads and highways within and around ‘metropolises.4 4Sam Bass Warner, Jr., The Urban Wilderness, A History of the American Cipy (New York: 1972), pp. 113-9. 105 Such changing patterns and modes of transportation can resolve the apparent discrepancy concerning the negative partial correlation between size of largest urban place and net-migration as well as the negative simple correlation for the urban sub-sample contrasted to the positive relation- ships between nearness to an SMSA and both migration and largest urban place. Specifically, it may be that although towns nearer SMSA's tend slightly to be larger than those farther from such centers. some more remote urban places may still be larger than others closer to SMSA's due to their earlier importance as railroad and commercial centers. That is, although the largest urban place in counties at the fringe of metropolitan areas may, on the average, be larger than those in more remote areas, the largest non- ‘metropolitan urban places may lie in remote areas; moreover, such towns which served as more diversified central places during the railroad era may be losing inhabitants through migration with the decline of the railroad and thus their loss of attractiveness to other industries. Both the find- ing of this study that counties with smaller urban places are growing more rapidly or losing less of their populations through net-migration and Zuiches' results indicating that smaller towns tend to attract proportionately more in- ‘migrants than larger places support such an explanation that large remote centers and their hinterlands, i.e., 106 the county, in general have declined with changing trends in transportation.5 The strong partial correlation between percentage in colleges in this examination as well as the positive relationship found by Zuiches between colleges and intra- state in-migration, however, also indicate that some smaller remote towns may attract migrants by serving as training grounds for the development of general "urban" and particu- larly college-related skills which will be transferred to jobs in metropolises at a later stage of individual migra- tion. Thus, the tendency for more remote towns to gain more in-migrants than less remote towns between 1955 and 1960 while such counties in the North Central Region in the 19603 lost rather than gained population through net- migration may result from those places continually attract- ing students to college or university facilities located there yet not being able to retain them upon graduation. MOreover, the seemingly contradictory correlations may also be due in part to the fact that the measurement of in- migration includes only those entering a county while the component of out-migration in the net-migration rate includes both former in-migrants and county residents that leave.6 5The decline of remote towns as central places due to transportational changes would also explain the negative beta weight for nearness to city; that is, small cities remote from SMSA's do not provide the central place services to attract and retain populations in surrounding counties. 6Zuiches, 410-20. 107 On the other hand, the positive association between size of largest urban place and SMSA may reflect the greater feasibility of commuting longer distances to work in cities or metropolitan areas. The low level of this correlation, moreover, probably mirrors the fact that once commuting reaches a high level, the county is incorporated into an SMSA as well as the continued existence of some large rural centers of an earlier era. Similarly, the negative correla- tion between largest urban place andmigration may reflect in addition to the decline of large rural centers and the incorporation of high-commuting counties into SMSA's, the increasing spatial flexibility of commuters in continguous nonmetropolitan counties due to the automobile and an intri- cate system of roads which no longer makes it necessary to live close to commuter lines or shopping facilities. Furthermore, the strong positive correlation found between diversity and SMSA similarly demonstrates the movement of manufacturing firms to outlying counties as more multi- lane highway networks link these counties to the metropolitan area. Finally, although the various results suggest such an explanation they also indicate that the relationships may be extremely complex. Thus, a more precise understand- ing must await the undertaking of longitudinal studies addressed specifically to how transportational changes, urbanization, and population redistribution relate with one another on a state or regional basis. 108 Policy Implications The results of this study are similar to the findings of the Commission on Population Growth and the American Future and indicate that its policy recommendations concern- ing depressed rural areas can be implemented without great difficulty. On the other hand, findings also show that current federal monetary policies, if anything, promote a population distribution pattern contrary to the Commission's recommendations. Specifically, counties more remote from metropolitan areas tend to have more negative net-migration rates than those closer to SMSA's. However, as farm con- solidation continues, these findings demonstrate that heavy population losses from rural areas can be stemmed when employment opportunities, particularly in manufacturing and secondarily in public services, are available. That this study indicates that particular counties have already diversified away from agriculture and have also stemmed the tide of heavy rural out-migration suggests that it is quite feasible to pinpoint those areas that have dis- played the potential for growth and could be developed further in line with the Commission's recommendation of employing a growth center strategy for such places in depressed areas. The promotion of selected centers as governmental policy would not only enhance employment opportunities but also would concentrate public services in such towns/cities making them central places in the fullest sense of providing greater services for surrounding cent and RICE ian poli cont larg CORC cone EOVe: that 10am: if CI of 11‘ an as of c at we Badge tion : promoz 0t IQr H O 109 rural residents. Such a concentration may also make such centers more attractive to residents and potential migrants and thus alleviate pOpulation pressures on metropolitan areas. The findings of this study concerning federal inputs, however, demonstrate the lack of any such growth policy by the federal government at this time. That is, controlling for the level of manufacturing and size of largest place, federal inputs do not vary in relationship to migration trends. Moreover, that such monies tend to be concentrated in agricultural areas yielding the highest losses through net-migration suggests that aiding farmers has a negative effect on making the most rural areas attrac- tive residential locations and underscores the lack of concern for population distribution problems by the federal government in its monetary policies. This is not to argue that the Midwestern farmer should not be aided through loans and cash payments for crOps but to point out that if this country is committed to producing a higher quality of life for its citizens through population redistribution, an assumption the Commission maintains, the current pattern of fund allocations is inadequate at best and detrimental at worst to promoting such a policy. Thus, either current budgeting policies must be redirected or additional taxa- tion imposed to be earmarked specifically for growth promotion purposes in specific areas through the building or repair of existing transportation networks, incentives 110 to businesses to relocate, and the provision of social services to residents of nonmetropolitan areas.
