Natural Resource Dependence, Rural Development, and Rural Poverty

No 333924, Rural Development Research Reports from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: Rural poverty and population decline are now only weakly connected with a rural county's economic dependence on agriculture, mining, or Federal landownership. Thus, natural resource dependent counties are not the principal target for programs designed to relieve population decline and low-income problems in rural America. This report examines the influence of natural resource dependence on rural income levels and recent population growth.
