Tucker, C. Jack – Urban Affairs Quarterly, 1984
Analysis of Current Population Survey data from the U.S. Bureau of the Census contradicts the popular allegation of significant population returns to central cities from suburbs. On the contrary, data reveal a continuation of the decades-old trend of migration away from metropolitan areas. (KH)

Cromartie, John B. – Rural America, 2001
More people moved from nonmetro to metro areas than in the opposite direction during 1999-2000. Only the Midwest saw nonmetro growth. Nonmetro outmigration is concentrated among young adults leaving for college and jobs in cities, while inmigration among the college-educated dropped to near zero. Migration decisions of baby boomers will determine…

The most precipitous drop in enrollment could come in the six year period from 1977 to 1982 when 120,363 more students will graduate from the public school system than will…

McGranahan, David A. – Rural Development Perspectives, 1985
Whatever migration patterns evolve, changes in the age structure mean that rural communities in general can expect fairly stable elementary school population, reduced high school population, slower growth in new business and employment, and continued increase in the elderly population. (JHZ)

Bowles, Gladys K.; Beale, Calvin L. – 1980
Data from the Annual Housing Survey indicated that 22% of all employed United States household heads commuted to a county different from that in which they lived in 1975. Commuting was more prevalent among men than among women and slightly higher for whites than for Blacks. Commuting tended to increase until age 25-34 and then to decline after age…

Cook, Annabel Kirschner – 1988
Youth in the western United States are increasing in number, but increased numbers will not necessarily translate into increased expenditures for youth programs.
