| Nonmetro
net migration rates |
John Cromartie
More people
moved from metro to nonmetro areas than
in the opposite direction during 2000-04.
This movement, along with immigration
from abroad, increased the nonmetro
population by 417,000 (0.9 percent)
over the period. Nonmetro net migration
rates ranged from 37 percent in Flagler
County, FL, to -25 percent in Loving
County, TX. The highest net migration
rates were close to those of urbanized
areas (the built-up cores of metro areas).
Most counties in the Great Plains continued
to experience net outmigration.
