Migration Momentum: Rural America’s population has risen for the 4th year in a row!

Rural America saw a major population growth for the fourth year in a row.

Census Bureau data shows that non-metropolitan counties grew by 134,000 residents last year. It marks a notable turn from a nearly decade-long trend of population decline in rural areas.

Migrating to rural towns in the South was especially popular.

Nearly two-thirds of rural population growth in the U.S. took place in the southern region of the country.
