Overview
The Rural Indicators Map Machine is an Internet-based mapping utility
that provides a visualization of indicators for rural areas available
from ERS. These indicators include
the Natural Amenities Scale, the Rural Typology Code, the Urban
Influence Code, the Rural-urban Continuum Code, and the Rural-urban
Commuting Area Code. You can examine the data and get information
about the features on the map, move to different geographic levels,
and change data layers. For example, a user can select a state,
zoom into a specific county and display the data attributes of that
county.
