Migrants in the Rural South Choose Urban and Natural Amenities

Author

  • Cromartie, John B.

Abstract

The rural South added over 16 million people from migration since the early 1970's. But population growth and economic development persistently favor areas with specific attributes attractive to migrants. Both urban and natural amenities-such as high-tech jobs and favorable climates-have delineated areas of high rural growth from places left behind, and exacerbated rural economic development problems that fall along lines of race, income, and education.
