title: Rural-urban migration patterns shift.
abstract: The authors analyze changes in rural-urban migration patterns in the United States. "Current Population Survey (CPS) migration data from 1990-94 indicate a dispersal of population out of urban areas into small towns and open country areas. The net rural gain has been small according to these data (0.1 percent), but it contrasts sharply with rural outflow of the late 1980s. Even more significantly, the rural ¿brain drain' of the 1980s has not carried over into the 1990s."
