Rewriting the Rural Narrative Speak softly and carry statistics
Presentation transcript:

Ben Winchester Research Fellow © 2013 all rights reserved. University of Minnesota Extension is an equal opportunity educator and employer. Rewriting the Rural Narrative: the “ Brain Gain ” of Rural America

“The kids are all leaving” “Outmigration is a problem” “There is a Brain Drain” “Rural areas are dying” Deficit Approach

Mechanization of agriculture Roads and transportation Population loss Church closings Main street restructuring School consolidations Hospitals closings

Rural is Changing, not Dying Yes, things are changing These changes impact rural and urban areas alike More apparent in rural places Research base does NOT support notion that if XXXX closes, the town dies –In Minnesota only 3 towns have dissolved in past 50 years

Rural Rebound Since 1970, rural population increased by 11% –Relative percentage living rural decreased 26% 203,211,926 (53.6m rural) 308,745,538 (59.5m rural)

Rural Rebound Since 1970, rural population increased by 11% –Relative percentage living rural decreased Nationally, 1990 and 1999, 2.2 million more Americans moved from the city to the country, than the reverse. Population loss figures many times include formerly rural places not designated as urban

Population Change

Cohort Age 30-34, Percent Change

Cohort Age 30-34, Percent Change

Leadership Context How many people do we need to run our town? (demand) How many leaders are available? (supply) We have numerous leadership programs currently training leaders, but are we keeping up with the demand?

de Tocqueville 1831 Democracy in America In towns he was amazed at how associations rise up to meet a challenge and then dissipate

Supply & Demand for Leaders Population per# of residents of leadership age Leadership Role =Public Organizations Leadership Age: Age 18+ Public Organizations – Gov’t and Nonprofit Population per Organization Role – divide by 3 –(IRS requires a minimum of 3 people) Example 300 people, 10 groups = 1 in 30 residents must lead. –In total, organizations must involve 1 in 10 people to lead.

Population Per Organizational Role Definition: Number of people each organization has available to them to locate a positional leader. -Yes, people serve on multiple boards. -Assumption of 3 per board is conservative. -Age 18+ includes many age groups that are less active.

National Center for Charitable Statistics, U.S. Census Bureau Social Life is Not Dying Nonprofit Growth: % % %

National Center for Charitable Statistics, U.S. Census Bureau Nonprofit Change: The “cleanse”

U.S. gained 10% in population and 32% in the number of nonprofits. The most rural counties experienced a loss of 1% in population, yet the number of nonprofits increased 15%. National Center for Charitable Statistics, U.S. Census Bureau Social Life is Not Dying Nonprofit Growth:

Social Organizations Reflect the social interests at any given time Today is not 25 (or 50, or 100) years ago! The people today seem unable to “connect” with the existing social infrastructure

Changing Types of Involvement - The Social Organization (historical) Place-based Broadly focused Word of mouth Agricultural base of interests Green & Haines Asset Building and Community Development

Changing Types of Involvement - The Social Organization (present) Cover wide geographic area Narrowly focused goals/ self-interest Diverse social interests Technological – social media The people today are challenged in “connecting” with the existing social infrastructure.

Rural Brain Gain Trend The growth is primarily in the 30 to 49 age group – this in-migration into rural communities can be just about equal to that of the out-migration of youth – the “Brain Drain”. These people are bringing children aged There is an interchange between core urban, suburban, and rural places. This interchange (loss and gain) is necessary for influx of new ideas to cultivate social capital.

Newcomers: Why?

Newcomers: Who? 36% lived there previously 68%(MN) 40% (NE) attain bachelors degree 67% (MN) 48% (NE) household incomes over $50k 51% (MN) 43% (NE) have children in household They are generally leaving their career Underemployed in current situation Yet, Quality of Life is the trump card

The trend, continued The movement of people is consistent and large, it’s not all about outmigration. Those moving to rural areas are in their prime earning years. Isn’t this a net BRAIN GAIN? This movement has occurred without a concerted effort to recruit or attract them. High levels of entrepreneurship and small business ownership.

Economic Impact of Newcomers The surveyed newcomers reported $6.6 million in household income in 2009 and This equates to an average household income of $66,000. New, expanded, or relocated businesses owned by the newcomers reported spending $108,000 in the region. The total economic impact of the surveyed newcomers’ business and household spending is $9.1 million, including 174 jobs and $7.2 million in labor income (including wages, salaries, and benefits). The survey was not random, and therefore the results cannot be generalized beyond the study region, the average newcomer household contributed $92,000 in economic activity to the region in 2009 and The analysis is based on 99 newcomer households that represent 150 working-age adults and 14 newcomer-owned businesses.

Rewrite the Narrative National societal preferences to live in small towns and rural places Not everyone is leaving small towns A new urbanity is found in formerly rural places The trend continued in the 2000s, albeit slowed –Fuel prices high, mortgage crisis –Vacant (available) housing down
