Abstract
The authors analyze and compare two data sets on land-use change in U.S. counties with rapidly growing populations for the period from 1960 to the early 1980s. The results show that "the net effect of changing household numbers, household characteristics, and economic constraints on demand for land is likely to mean less conversion of land for urban uses in the future. Our studies showed that marginal urban land consumption remained nearly constant between 1960 and the early 1980s." excerptKeywords: Administrative Districts; Americas; Comparative Studies; Counties; Demographic Factors; Developed Countries; Ecology; Economic Factors; Environment; Family And Household; Geographic Factors; Households--changes; Land Supply; Natural Resources; North America; Northern America; Population; Population Dynamics; Population Growth; Research Methodology; Spatial Distribution; Studies; United States; Urban Spatial Distribution; Urbanization--changes
