Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The national farm population dropped from 14,313,000 in 1962 to 13,367,000 in 1963, in a continuation of the downward trend that has prevailed since 1947. The decrease affected all nine major geographic divisions of the Nation. In 1963 each of three divisions (East North Central, West North Central, and South Atlantic) had about 2.5 million farm residents; the others less. An estimated 1,438,000 persons of all ages moved from farms during the preceding year or lived on places that ceased to be farms and consequently were removed from the farm category in 1963. This loss was countered in part by the movement to farms of about 352,000 people, leaving an estimated net loss to the farm population through outmovement and reclassification of 1,086,000 persons for the year.
