Nonmetro Retirement Counties' Strengths and Weaknesses

Richard J. Reeder and Nina L. Glasgow

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1990, vol. 06, issue 2

Abstract: For nearly 500 nonmetro counties, the formula for economic success has been to attract retirees as new residents. Rapid growth in population and employment has made such counties a bright spot among otherwise gloomy nonmetro economic news. Questions remain, however, about the quality of the jobs created and about retirees' apparent coolness to funding education and road building programs.
