摘要

This article examines the social, political, and demographic sources of variation in creative cultural capital in over 3,100 U.S. counties. The analysis presented here focuses on institutionalized forms of creative activity, as reflected by employment in museums, libraries, and the visual and performing arts sectors. Study results indicate that community-level variables account for a statistically significant portion of variation in creative cultural capital. Cultural industries are likely to thrive in communities that rely on different forms of social and religious capital and the presence of certain types of political culture legacy. Mean education level tends to increase creative cultural capital, whereas income inequality and Internet connectivity tend to depress it. These effects, however, vary by metropolitan, micropolitan, and rural geographical settings. Clearly, there is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to the goal of enhancing creative cultural capital at the local community level.
