Rural towns are in the long tail of their extended death. I gleaned from this article that once the Boomers are gone, these towns are gone. Given that, who would want to relocate to such a town having such a bleak future? I'd wager hardly anyone, which appears to be the case.

These towns aren't aging, they're dying.
