A new report from the Carsey Institute at the University of New Hampshire, based on a comprehensive survey of 8,000 Americans from 19 rural counties, identifies four distinct, often disparate, rural Americas. The data-rich report presents a complex picture of the economics, demographics, politics, and values of people in rural America. http://www.unh.edu/news/cj_nr/2008/July/bp16rural.cfm

To download the complete report, go to http://carseyinstitute.unh.edu/publications/Report_PlaceMatters.pdf To watch a video of Mil Duncan describing the “four rural Americas” concept, go to http://bbvideo.unh.edu/content/milduncan/lecture.wmv. [scb]
