Migration Shifts Boost Nonmetro Counties in 1970s
Nonmetro areas attract faster growth than metro regions in the 1970s with retirement counties gaining 14.5 percent or 932000 people. Urban rural quality of life gains, reduced farm losses, mining revival, and education access draw residents to smaller places while large metros stagnate.
Migration shift from metro to nonmetro areas
Trend shows people moving away from high income metro zones to nonmetro regions, contrasting the 1950s and 1960s patterns. Beale critiques this shift and warns against gambling with defective wiring.
