Abstract

The economic structure and demographic characteristics of rural counties vary significantly across the country. To provide information about this variation to policymakers, public officials, and researchers, USDA, Economic Research Service (ERS) has developed a set of county-level typology codes. The 2025 edition of the USDA, ERS County Typology Codes contains a set of Economic Typology Codes based on the industrial composition of nonmetropolitan (nonmetro) counties and a set of Demographic Typology Codes based on demographic characteristics that are often of interest to rural policymakers and researchers.
