Net Migration in the Great Plains Increasingly Linked to Natural Amenities and Suburbanization

Abstract

Over 90 percent of counties in the Great Plains experienced an upward trend in net migration from the mid-1980’s to the mid- 1990’s, in the form of lower net outmigration, higher net inmigration, or a switch from out- to inmigration. Net outmigration persisted in sparsely settled, isolated areas and in areas where jobs depended on the extraction of energy resources. However, migration in the mid-1990’s was associated less with rural-urban location and employment and more with increased commuting from suburban fringe counties and movement to the few areas in the region with high natural amenities.
