After five years of population loss in rural and small-town America, the trend has slowed greatly and may be ending, John Cromartie reports for Amber Waves, the magazine of the Economic Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The population of non-metropolitan counties "declined by just 4,000 from July 2014 to July 2015 after four years of population losses averaging 33,000 yearly, according to the latest county population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau," Cromartie writes. "The 2014-15 improvement in nonmetro population change coincides with rural economic recovery and suggests that this first-ever period of overall population decline (from 2010 to 2015) may be ending."
