ARC Sees Slow Appalachian Growth as Asset for Future
ARC study argues Appalachian population will lag the nation but could aid development by avoiding urban strain. Dr. Jerome Pickard predicts region will hold 5.2 percent of US people by 2000 with a 30 percent zone within 75 miles of the boundary. The piece notes urban gains and rural declines from 1940–1970 and projects continued urban growth with rural decline through 2000.
