New West and Old West in the Twenty-First Century: The Rich Get Richer
The rural U.S. West is increasingly valued for its unique natural beauty, tourism potential, and the outdoor recreational activities it provides rather than for its grazing potential, lumber mills, or extraction of valuable minerals. With this transition in mind, we examine demographic changes in the region within the context of selective migration. We build on research conducted in the late 1990s that studied the changing spatial patterns of mig…
Economic Freedom, Migration and Income Change among U.S. Metropolitan Areas
Even though metropolitan area governments have no control over state level monetary, labor, or fiscal policies, they are able to enact policies designed to enhance local living conditions—however determined. Such policies include local taxes, labor and wage policies, and regulations that can differ substantially from other metropolitan areas even within the same state. Collectively such policies create differing levels of economic freedom, as mea…
Environmental Hazards as Disamenities: Selective Migration and Income Change in the United States from 2000–2010
An emerging area of migration research is the complex relationship between migration and environmental hazards, broadly defined. Environmental hazards are best viewed through a vulnerability lens, which has two components. The first is exposure - the frequency and duration of the hazardous events-and the second is adaptive capacity - the ability of communities to mitigate, deflect, or absorb the effects of exposure. Because migration is selective…
US regional income change and migration: 1995–2004
One of the most important concepts found in the migration literature is that it is a selective process, both in terms of who migrates and in the migrants' individual movement trajectories. The selectivity of migration means that the population structure at both origin and destination will change over time through migration, thus influencing the socio‐economic fabric of both sending and receiving regions. In this study we are primarily interested …
Intraurban Population Estimation with Remotely Sensed Imagery: A Developing World Perspective
According to the United Nations, this year (2008) over 50% of Earth's 6.6 billion human inhabitants will be living in urban areas. Given the increasing importance of cities as human habitat, there is a critical need for accurate population count data to support urban decision-making. Models driven by remotely sensed imagery are one of the few economically viable alternatives available to countries with developing economies needing to measure intr…
Place Making, Hazardous Waste, And The Development Of Tooele County, Utah
Declining populations, aging inhabitants and infrastructure, limited economic opportunities, and under‐ or unappreciated natural environments characterize a number of rural communities in the western United States. Faced with the challenges of providing for their residents, some of these communities have chosen to permit undesirable land‐use activities, including the disposal of hazardous or nuclear waste. Central to the development of such sites…
Income Migration and the Spatial Redistribution of Poverty and Income in the Mountain West Region during the 1990s
The purpose of this research is to understand how rapid population growth in the Mountain West region in the U.S. during the 1990s has affected the spatial distribution of income and poverty. Population growth in the Mountain West during the 1990s was principally through the mechanism of internal and international migration. In previous research we found that much of this growth, and the income growth that went along with it, was highly concentra…

Spatial Patterns of Migration and Income Change in the Mountain West: The Dominance of Service-Based, Amenity-Rich Counties
One of the most recognizable and important changes occurring in the West is rapid population growth. This article intends to address questions associated with whether patterns of population growth and income migration are associated with “new” and “old” West economies. Rural restructuring in the U.S. has created a group of counties with service-based economies. In the Mountain West, a number of counties with service-based economies are located in…
Self-Selection, Earnings and Chicano Migration: Differences between Return and Onward Migrants

Self-Selection, Earnings and Chicano Migration: Differences between Return and Onward Migrants
The purpose of this article is to extend the empirical literature on Chicano return migration by examining earnings differentials between return and onward Chicano migrants. Our approach reflects the complexity of estimating such effects in terms of selectivity biases and the interaction between individual and locational attributes. We use data derived from the public use microdata sample (PUMS) of the 1990 U.S. census. After controlling for migr…
Nonmetropolitan Population Change in the Mountain West: 1970-1995
Current research on nonmetropolitan (nonmetro) population change shows that, to date, the 1990s are reminiscent of the 1970s rather than the 1980s. Nonmetro areas, including the Mountain West, are again gaining population through increases in net migration. Over the past several years, subareas within the Mountain West have experienced some of the fastest rates of population growth and economic expansion in the United States. Current growth patte…
Native American Population Patterns
Regional concentration characterizes the distribution of Native Americans. They have been concentrated in the rural American West through three centuries of governmental intervention to create `Indian States. The last four decades have witnessed important changes in the geography of Native Americans. The majority of them are now urban residents and migration and more precise census enumeration have resulted in significant population growth in non…

Developing the Spatial Mismatch Hypothesis: Problems of Accessibility to Employment for Low-Wage Central City Labor
This research focuses on the spatial mismatch hypothesis as an explanation for the concentration of unemployment in the central cities of the industrial Midwest. It is argued that the immobility of low-wage labor relative to the mobility of employment results in either the exploitation or isolation of low-wage labor. In the contemporary period, the suburbanization of low-wage employment economically isolates the immobile low-wage population of th…
