Abstract
⺠We take a coupled-systems approach to classify rural counties in the U.S. ⺠Conduct a hot spot and factor analysis on 35 human and natural systems variables. ⺠Find three hyper-extractive coupled-systems based on water exploitation, mining, and forestry and fishing. ⺠Find ten other coupled-systems based on demographics, agriculture, industry, and scenic amenities. ⺠Coupled-systems approach highlights the issues with land-use patterns and sustainability in U.S.
