I think their metric is suspect. It only uses where new companies are being created as a major metric to categorize "distressed" economies. Pooling of resources around major urban areas is very typical of how economies grow. You can't expect companies to just rise up in the middle of nowhere

I just visited my mom's hometown, Lamar, Colorado. They clearly surf the same internet you do, they are trying to mimic the same patterns of behavior, but the town is falling apart.
