At the individual level, rural women traveled longer distances than their urban counterparts (see Table 2). We also found evidence of this at the county level; using census data on percent of population living in urban vs rural zip codes by county, we found that the percentage of a county population that is rural was positively and significantly associated with median distance traveled by women in that county in a linear regression model (p < 0.001). We also used linear regression to examine whether the abortion rate or ratio differed by urban/rural status, regressing percentage of the county population that is rural on abortion rate and on abortion ratio. Neither abortion rate nor ratio significantly differed by percentage of the county population that is rural (p = 0.91 & p = 0.12 respectively).
