Abstract
Using cardinal neighbor analysis, where each place in a region is linked with its nearest larger neighbor, it has been found that between 1940 and 1980 the linkage structure defining the Denver, Colorado, regional system changed at a rate of 11.5 percent per decade. Within the five-state area constituting the Denver system, Wyoming exhibited the greatest amount of structural change (14.9%) while Utah exhibited the least (7.7%). Observed change rates can be explained by the size of a subject place relative to its nearest larger neighbor and the presence or absence of intervening large places. Spatial change is thus related to prior spatial structure.
