Rural America’s economic performance has generally lagged urban America’s performance for decades. This relative decline accelerated after 2000, and the economic expansion since the Great Recession largely missed much of rural America. The US has experienced declining rates of dynamism since the 1970s, but this phenomenon is stronger in rural areas. For example, declining rates of new-firm startups hit rural America even harder. Rural-to-urban migration, the traditional route to prosperity for generations of rural residents, has also declined, leaving many rural American “trapped” in...
