Small-Town and Rural America See Growth

Just where the elitists don’t want.


As midterm elections near, smaller, redder places show more economic growth


This article comes with all sorts of charts and graphics. But, the bottom line is that the part of America between the Left and East Coasts are growing and becoming more inviting. Thanks to the president’s economic policies.

These patterns are notable for what they say about the contours of national economic activity but also because they reflect what’s happening on the ground, in particular urban and rural areas. And in this regard, the dynamics of the current economic surge—strong goods production and relatively weaker services provision—slightly disfavor larger, bluer, tech- and service-oriented metros, and relatively favor smaller, more rural, and redder communities by comparison to their recent problems. This conclusion aligns with the findings of smart analysts like Jed Kolko of Indeed. And it suggests that growth patterns are now playing out fairly positively for many if not all smaller communities and rural areas.

Operation costs are generally cheaper in more rural areas.

Which means what? Ozone levels are generally higher in rural areas, which means nothing.

City dwellers might have the best opportunities compared to those who live in small towns or rural areas, but a study has revealed that people in the countryside are eight times happier than their city counterparts.

Experts, however, noticed a particular trend. They underscored that while those who live and thrive in the city have an advantage over small-town residents in terms of education and better jobs, it's people in rural areas who are at least eight times happier and satisfied with their lives.

Experts attributed this to the fact that small-town residents have a stronger sense of community, identity and belonging despite their small population. It might also be because most city dwellers are originally from other parts of the country but have moved to the urban areas because of the opportunities.

Did you know we pay federal dollars to get doctors into rural communities? Yet these hicks hate the federal government. $4.2 Million in Federal Grants Open to Rural Physicians

The study showed rural Americans already are more likely to suffer from chronic health conditions and face greater difficulty accessing quality healthcare than urban counterparts.

Patients in rural communities face greater rates of diabetes, heart problems and cancer but receive lower quality healthcare, the Wednesday report by the UnitedHealth Center for Health & Reform Modernization found.

Operation costs are generally cheaper in more rural areas.

The UnitedHealth paper found that there are only 65 primary care physicians per 100,000 rural Americans — 40 or so less than the 105 per 100,000 urban and suburban Americans.

Already five million rural residents live in “shortage areas” defined by the government as counties with less than 33 primary care physicians per 100,000 residents. According to Stevens, over half of rural doctors predict the situation will worsen.

A survey that was part of the study found that among roughly 3,000 patients and primary physicians queried nationwide, those from rural areas were more likely to respond that drug abuse and teen pregnancy are major concerns than were those from urban areas.

Those from rural areas also generally thought the quality of care was lower in their communities than in urban ones. UnitedHealth confirmed this “equality deficit” is supported by data showing that in 70 percent of markets, rural quality of care was measurably worse than in urban areas.

Republicans don't care about income inequality so I'm sure they won't mind that their rural constituents have it worse than we do here in the cities.

People who live in rural areas still see doctors more often and sooner than those in cities.

That's not what the facts say. Got a link to that so called fact?
