IN 1976, ALMOST 20% OF ALL HOUSEHOLDS IN THE UNITED STATES OWNED ONE OR MORE TRUCKS. THIS FIGURE INCREASES TO 31% LIVING OUTSIDE SMSAS.

THE MAJOR DIFFERENCES IN THE TYPES OF VEHICLES OWNED BY URBAN AND RURAL RESIDENTS OCCUR IN THE SMALL
CAR AND PICK-UP TRUCK CATEGORIES. SMALL CARS (COMPACTS AND SUBCOMPACTS) COMPRISE MORE THAN 30% OF
THE VEHICLES OWNED BY RESIDENTS OF METROPOLITAN AREAS WHILE THEIR RURAL COUNTERPARTS OWN ONLY 22% SMALL
CARS. THE PROPORTIONS OF INTERMEDIATE, STANDARD, AND LUXURY CARS DIFFER ONLY SLIGHTLY ACROSS AREAS.
VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE DIFFERENCE IS ACCOUNTED FOR BY THE LARGE NUMBERS OF PICK-UPS OWNED BY RURAL
HOUSEHOLDS.

Locational definitions follow those of the U.S. Bureau of the Census for SMSAs.

Not a passenger car, pickup truck, passenger van or motor home.

1975

TABLE 1.53 SHOWS THAT WHILE 69% OF ALL PERSONAL MOTOR VEHICLES ARE OWNED BY HOUSEHOLDS IN METROPOLITAN
AREAS, THESE HOUSEHOLDS OWN 78% OF ALL SUBCOMPACTS, AND 74% OF COMPACTS.

THESE DIFFERENCES MAY WELL
REFLECT A POSITIVE INFLUENCE OF THE URBAN TRAVEL ENVIRONMENT ON CONSUMER PREFERENCES FOR SMALLER, MORE
EFFICIENT PERSONAL MOTOR VEHICLES.
