Abstract

Excerpt from the report Highlights: The population of the United States has recently grown by 2.9 million persons per year. By September 1962 the total passed the 187 million mark, and unless a sharp downturn in birth rate occurs it will exceed 210 million by 1970. In rural United States, there have never before been so many areas declining in population at a time when most urban areas are growing rapidly. Never before have there been such disparities in the age distribution of farm and nonfarm populations as there are now, nor such differences in the directions in which the distributions are changing. Because of the heavy outmigration of young adults, in some rural areas births have declined to the point that they no longer exceed deaths. The revolution in agricultural life and technology that has fostered the loss of farm population has by no means been completed.
