Rural towns are in the long tail of their extended death. I gleaned from this article that once the Boomers are gone, these towns are gone. Given that, who would want to relocate to such a town having such a bleak future? I'd wager hardly anyone, which appears to be the case. These towns aren't aging, they're dying.
- msisk6 2y ago100% agree. I drove through a bunch of these just yesterday and my wife and I were saying that once the current generation die there's little reason for these towns to exist.
- PrefixKitten 2y agoI live in a town with a population of ~800 people and yea, once the boomer generation dies there will be maybe 40-50 people left lol I don't know whether anyone wants to move here but I can tell you that regardless of how many people that may be, none of them ever do end up moving here
