Nebraska predicts population decline in Polk County region
A Nebraska Department of Economic Development study projects a two percent regional population decrease over the next two decades in Fillmore Polk and York Counties with York urban growth over 24 percent while rural areas fall 21 percent. The report, presented at a Farmers Home Administration hearing, urges local planning to alter trends and notes Polk County's 1890-1970 decline to 6470 by 1990, with Shelby and Stromsburg potentially growing but not enough to offset rural losses.
