New Publication in Journal of Rural Studies

Our paper on our developed “rurality” index (CARR) was recently published in the Journal of Rural Studies!

The paper, “Community assets and relative rurality index: A multi-dimensional measure of rurality” describes a proposed metric for rurality studies that combines measures of access to more than 50 types of community assets and physical resources with traditional measures of population density and remoteness.
