      abstract = {Residents of U.S. metropolitan areas received an average  of $2,007 per capita of Federal outlays and loan  guarantees, or 9 percent more than the $1,845 per capita in  nonmetropolitan areas, during fiscal 1978.  Outlays vary  considerably between metropolitan and nonmetropolitan  counties.  Nonmetropolitan areas received $195 more per  capita for agriculture, energy, and the environment, for  example, while metropolitan areas received almost $300 more  per capita for defense programs.  This study estimates or  traces 86 percent of the $499 billion of Federal outlays  and loan guarantees made in 1978 to individual counties. },
