According to US Government Statistics, US Rural population is growing. That’s attributed in large part to the net increase of movement out of the metro areas to “flyover” country.
Where were people most likely to move?
Nonmetro population gains from net domestic migration were highest in western locations that combine scenic attributes with tourism, recreation, second-home development, and retirement migration. Amenities combined with proximity to metro jobs fueled rapid growth in many parts of the nonmetro South, including the Texas Hill Country, southern Appalachia, the Florida coast, and northern Virginia.
I wonder how many of these people also move to an area near a Super Wal Mart? That would be interesting to know as well.
Another thing I’d like to know is how many of these are retirees and somewhat income independent and how many are telecommuters?
How many start new businesses once they get to the “country”?
