The Enduring Price of Place: Revisiting the Rural Cost of Living☆
Even as the 2016 elections brought increased public attention to rural life, stereotypes and misconceptions abound. One of these misperceptions is the generalization that prices are lower in rural areas. This article is a restudy of Zimmerman, Ham, and Frank (2008) research on geographic differences in the costs of living. Asking the same fundamental question-if someone bought the same thing in a rural and urban area, would they pay the same pric…
Mediated Knowledge: Reexamining Six Classic Community Studies from a Woman's Point of View
Six studies published in the 1940s have become classics in the analysis of rural community and change: the community stability/instability studies. One of their less recognized features is that their analyses included women. This article revisits these six studies, but from a different vantage point. As a socially constructed enterprise, the community studies can be seen as a product of human agency. Examining how these researchers saw and includ…

Voices from the past, lessons for the future: Learning from the history of sociology in government
Purpose As academic fields increasingly turn to social action and seek partnerships with groups beyond the academy, so too are we looking for guidance. Rural sociology developed out of applying research to social action and within this field was a unique unit. The purpose of this paper is to present a history of the Division of Farm Population and Rural Life, which was part of the US Department of Agriculture from 1919 to 1953 was a pioneer in ap…
We're not horsing around” Conceptualizing the Kentucky Horse Industry as an Economic Cluster
Michael Porter's concept of an economic cluster is used as a heuristic tool for assisting residents and policy-makers in understanding the diverse economic impacts of the horse industry in Kentucky. "A cluster is a geographically proximate group of interconnected companies and associated institutions in a particular field, linked by commonalities and complementarities" (Porter, 2000, p. 16). This concept helps us to understand the complex relatio…
Does it or Doesn't it? Geographic Differences and the Costs of Living
The relative cost of living in rural areas has long been of interest to rural sociologists. Today, the popular perception is that rural prices are lower. This study examines geographic differences in the costs of living in Kentucky. The results indicate that, contrary to the popular perception, when prices of the same products and services were compared, there was no consistent pattern of lower prices in the rural counties. Furthermore, differenc…
People and Places: Welfare Reform and the Separate Effect of Caseload Characteristics and Local Conditions
The shift from hardship alleviation policies to behavior-focused policies in cash assistance highlight competing theoretical approaches to poverty: those focused on individuals' characteristics and those focused on structural factors lying beyond the control of the individual. This research bridges these approaches by examining the question, do local conditions have a separate and independent effect from cash assistance caseload characteristics o…
Building Knowledge, Building Community: Integrating Internet Access to Secondary Data as Part of the Community Development Process
Too often, the approach to secondary data collection and analysis in community development is to handle it as an activity separate from other participatory processes. Today, as the internet has grown, not only has easy access to online sources of secondary data increased, but the internet itself has opened up the ability of communities to engage in data collection and analysis in new and innovative ways. Engaging communities in building internet-…
