Types of rapidly growing counties of the U.S., 1970–1990
Recent economic growth and in-migration have led to an interesting patchwork of rapidly growing counties in the United States. This paper identifies 299 U.S. counties that were growing at least 70% from 1970 to 1990, a rate greater than one standard deviation above the mean of all counties. Using a k-means cluster algorithm, seven distinct types of rapidly growing counties, with meaningful spatial patterns, were found. Four of these clusters were…
Attributes of repeat visitors to small tourist-oriented communities
This study investigates the characteristics of small tourist towns to discern why visitors want to return. It examines how accessibility, physical and cultural amenities, the social setting, and the prestige of places influence repeat-tourism. A survey assessed the perceptions, attitudes, and experiences of visitors to three small towns in Texas: an ethnocultural and craft center, a summer beach community, and an artisan marketplace. Discriminant…
Country Music Radio and American Culture Regions
Using a cultural regionalization of the United States, 162 listening areas are examined to discern the relative importance of regional and socioeconomic variables in predicting listenership ratings for country music radio stations. A regression analysis shows the significance of the Upland South (where the country style originated) and the Great Plains and Texas /Oklahoma regions. Conversely, the New England and Middle Atlantic regions demonstrat…
A portrait of modern Texas politics
The 1990 governor's race in Texas provided a unique opportunity to analyze the state's regional geography. Moderate Democrat Ann Richards' defeat of conservative Republican Clayton Williams permitted a spatial analysis of the supporters of these two distinct candidates. A stepwise regression analysis of the electoral returns showed Germanic ancestry and higher income countries to be associated with the vote for Williams. In addition, the regional…
Locational Decisions of Physicians in Rural North Carolina
Recent literature suggests that there is a rural‐urban imbalance of doctors in the United States. In order to investigate this maldistribution, a survey was conducted of 504 physicians in eastern North Carolina. The objective was to determine the factors which most influenced doctors' decisions to locate their practice. A conceptual framework was used to highlight the influence of the community, medical schools and the physician's personal prefer…
