Abstract: Rural America at a Glance is an annual report that highlights recent social and economic conditions in rural areas of the United States. This edition focuses on the age structure of the rural population and the implications of age-related demographic change through the lens of migration, labor market participation, poverty, childcare and eldercare, and broadband. The aging of the population affects rural areas, where residents tend to be older on average than their urban counterparts. Whether due to retirees migrating to rural destinations or the aging of the population in place, recent growth in older age cohorts has implications for rural communities, such as the local labor supply and the demands for goods and services.
