Leaving the Countryside: Young Adults Follow Complex Migration Patterns

Author

  • Cromartie, John B.

Abstract

The 1980's saw an acceleration of outmigration among nonmetro youth without compensating inmigration, fueling concern over the loss of human resources and future population growth. A longitudinal survey conducted over 10 years confirms that young adults followed complex migration patterns normally involving multiple moves, including 15 percent who returned from cities to their counties of origin. Outmigration rates and patterns differ by race and ethnicity, income, and geographic proximity.
