Abstract
Examination of the relation between population change and long-distance commuting in New York State reveals a major change from the 1960s to the 1970s. During the 1960s, the population growth of minor civil divisions was largely a function of the strength of employment linkages to metropolitan centers. The decade of the 1970s, however, revealed a significant change. Though net population growth was lower throughout much of New York, the shift in the locus of growth was particularly notable. Metropolitan linkages alone were no longer sufficient to assure growth; it was instead the areas with linkages to nonrnetropolitan centers or those with linkages to both which experienced the highest rates of growth. The urbanization of the intermetropolitan periphery continued through the 1970s, but nonmetropolitan employment centers played an increasing role in this process.
