Abstract

Agricultural restructuring has dramatically redistributed population in the Great Plains. The region’s few counties with large urban centers have grown while the majority of counties, mostly rural, have declined. Prolonged outmigration of young families has distorted the age distribution in many counties and further perpetuated population loss by creating high proportions of elderly and by increasing natural decline.
