      abstract = {The gap in median household income increased between metro  and nonmetro households between 1979 and 1999. At the same  time, inequality in metro household income distributions  increased faster than among nonmetro households, resulting  in nonmetro income inequality essentially identical to that  in suburban areas and lower than in central cities. The  continuing disparity in income levels by race/ethnicity and  residence may reflect the local and race/ethnic-specific  consequences of industrial restructuring, globalization,  and changing household structures.},
