Nearly all of these towns are slowly dying. Young people leave and few come back. Nationwide its a lot of people but many of these towns are literally a few dozen people or less who will never leave because they live in a home for almost nothing or they have a family home they have inherited. It's the same thing that has happened in lots of rural areas of Texas.
