This study examines state- and county-level data on population, age, race and ethnicity, housing occupancy and housing tenure, education, labor force, employment and unemployment, income and poverty, health insurance coverage, disability status, migration patterns, and veteran status from the 2011-2015 American Community Survey (ACS) for the 13…

This study examines state- and county-level data on population, age, race and ethnicity, housing occupancy and housing tenure, education, labor force, employment and unemployment, income and poverty, health insurance coverage, disability status, migration patterns, and veteran status from the 2010-2014 American Community Survey (ACS) for the 13…

The dramatic slowdown in population growth in Appalachia since 1980 is the result of a sharp change in migration patterns. Both the metropolitan and nonmetropolitan populations increased much more slowly than in the United States as a whole, with metropolitan growth rates lagging farther behind the national rates. (BRR)

Reviewing traditional migration patterns and processes affecting the South, this article examines the characteristics of nonmetropolitan areas which have experienced growth due to migration and nonmetropolitan areas which have experienced population losses due to migration. (JC)

This article presents a method for facilitating the explanation of regional patterns of population change by emphasizing both cartographic clarity and meaningful geographic typologies. (Author)

The research examines the structural and spatial features of Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan places with net outmigration, 1940-60, and net inmigration, 1960-70, in comparison with Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan places with net outmigration, 1940-70. A one-way analysis of variance and step-wise discriminant function analysis were used. (Author/NQ)

This article defines and outlines the Canadian perspective on population policy. It presents the positions of important interest groups in the policymaking process such as the environmentalists, social justice advocates, and quality of life proponents. The debate surrounding the Green Paper on Immigration is examined. Debatable future issues are…

For 1993-94, data from the Internal Revenue Service indicate that nonmetro areas showed positive net migration for the United States, all regions, and all economic county types, with the greatest gains in the West and in retirement-destination counties. The most rapidly growing counties had the highest rates for both inmigration and outmigration.…

In this study migration is examined as a component of population change. Decisions involved in migration are discussed. Source of migration data are suggested. Generalized in-migration and out-migration fields are described. Migration patterns before 1975 and recent migration patterns are examined and decisions underlying the latter are analyzed.…

In this paper significant demographic trends in the United States are described and anlyzed in relation to their implications for education. Focus is placed on six major trends. (1) The United States is moving toward zero population growth, and the long term prospect for school enrollment is for decline. (2) The age structure of the population is…

Late in 1973 it became evident that the trend of population growth in the U.S. had turned toward rural and small town areas. Growth and migration rates for metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas were compared. Counties were classified by certain basic functional characteristics, and the trend was examined in those that were dominated by some…

Compares modern population problems with those of previous generations. Examines variations in population problems in different countries and world regions and the ways in which demographic events (e.g., rapid population growth or urbanization) in one region affect other regions. Advocates preparing for demographic changes through education. (DMM)

This population profile summarizes a range of demographic, social, and economic data collected by the Census Bureau during 1983 and 1984. Geographic coverage is primarily for the nation as a whole, although some demographic data at the State level are also included. The areas covered are as follows: (1) national population trends; (2) national…

Tied to 1970 benchmark figures developed to reflect the 1970 relationship between regional farm population estimates obtained from the Census of Population and the Current Population Survey, this 1975 report on farm population estimates is derived from a probability area sample of the 48 conterminous States, consisting of approximately 17,000 area…

A total of 19 charts, each with a brief narrative interpretation, present information on major features of population trends in the United States. Residents of 212 metropolitan areas (central cities with population of 50,000 or more) equalled 64 percent of the population of the U.S. in 1968. The distribution of the population differed greatly by…
