Rural Indicators Map Machine

This is an archived data product. It may not reflect the current ERS work program. For current data products, see our data section.

Overview

The Rural Indicators Map Machine is an Internet-based mapping utility that provides a visualization of indicators for rural areas available from ERS. These indicators include the Natural Amenities Scale, the Rural Typology Code, the Urban Influence Code, the Rural-urban Continuum Code, and the Rural-urban Commuting Area Code. You can examine the data and get information about the features on the map, move to different geographic levels, and change data layers. For example, a user can select a state, zoom into a specific county and display the data attributes of that county.
