Abstract

During the 1960's, many rural local governments were believed to provide inadequate government services, which hindered rural development. Rapid growth in government spending has substantially reduced the incidence of government poverty. By 1987, relatively few rural areas could be considered government poor. However, government poverty continues to be a significant problem in totally rural areas, in the South Central part of the country, and in retirement and low-income counties.
