Abstract
This article relies on unpublished data from ongoing research and various special industry and small‐area studies to assay dimensions and explore impacts on rural America of greatly accelerated industrial decentralization in the 1960's. Similar sources identify better highways and local services and facilities, and changing markets, products, and technologies as motivating forces. Brief attention is given to implications for population change, family and community well‐being, and assimilation of poorly educated and unskilled rural people into today's economic mainstream.
