U.S. rural depopulation

[edit]

Suggesting the addition of the following text on rural population outflows in the U.S. This would be for the section United States and Canada. (I am an editor with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, which published the article cited in this text.)

Rural counties in the United States, which make up about 70 percent of the nation’s land mass, have been struggling with population loss. Historically, population increase from births in rural areas more than compensated for the number of people moving from rural areas to urban areas, but from 2010 to 2016, rural areas lost population in absolute numbers for the first time.[1]
