- Summary:
-
All through the 1970-1980 decade, growth of population took place in the rural and small town areas of the United States where very little had occurred in earlier recent decades. In general, the trend can be viewed as one that was primarily socially motivated but facilitated by improved rural economic conditions. By contrast, in the first 3 years of the 1980s nonmetropolitan growth diminished to an annualized rate only about three-fifths as high as that of the 1970s, whereas metropolitan growth has continued its previous pace. Although the force of the agricultural and industrial recession of 1980-83 in nonmetropolitan areas produced much of this change, nonmetropolitan counties with previous growth linked to retirement (and thus protected from income decline) have similarly slowed their rate of growth. It is conceivable that the strength of the noneconomic, quality-of-life objectives that attracted people to rural and small town communities in the 1970s may have waned. Therefore, further economic recovery in these areas may not lead to a full resumption of the pattern of population growth found in the 1970s. Appended are six tables, two maps, and two graphs showing population changes over the 13-year period. (Author/NEC)
