Extract

Rural areas and small towns are facing new challenges as their economies grow and develop. The population influx to nonmetropolitan areas has brought new and increasing demands for community services. Preliminary 1980 census figures indicate that nonmetropolitan counties increased by about 15 percent, whereas metropolitan counties increased by about 9 percent from 1970 to 1980 (Beale).
