Americans Heading for the Cities, Once Again

Abstract

Population growth in rural and smalltown areas slowed greatly in the 1980's, especially in 1983-86. With rural areas beset by the farm crisis, employment cutbacks in major industries, and a slow recovery from national recession, fewer people were moving to the country and more rural people were moving to the cities looking for work. More than half of all nonmetro counties declined in population from 1983-86. But, some indicators suggest that the worst may now be over.
