"This study uses the experience of three non-metropolitan counties in Pennsylvania to explore which community characteristics have the greatest influence on people's decisions to move to rural areas. Personal characteristics affected how in-migrants evaluated prospective rural residential locations. Higher income in-migrants placed a high priority on job opportunities, housing quality, a short commute to work, quality of schools, and low local taxes. Lower income in-migrants were more likely to value a location near family and friends. Ability to own a home, housing costs, and local taxes were also important."
本研究利用宾夕法尼亚州三个非大都市县的经验，探讨哪些社区特征对人们迁往农村地区的决策影响最大。个人特征影响了迁入者对潜在农村居住地点的评估。高收入迁入者高度重视工作机会、住房质量、短通勤距离、学校质量和低地方税收。低收入迁入者更可能看重靠近家人和朋友的地点。拥有住房的能力、住房成本和地方税收也很重要。
