Any area of rural america that I have observed as doing ok/well for themselves seems to have a strong outdoor recreation/beautiful scenery in or right near town. Mountains; bodies of water; national parks.. I think these areas are going to keep growing but plenty of other towns that don't have much of this draw are dead/dying.
