Elizabeth Currid-Halkett |
Despite a common narrative that rural America is poor and detached, Currid-Halkett uses data and interview research to trace how small towns are doing as well as — or better than — cities using homeownership, income and employment benchmarks.
She also shows how rural and urban Americans share core values — even on issues such as racism and environmental sustainability — revealing that the nation is less fractured by geography than many people believe. This session is available online here.
To learn more about struggles and triumphs in rural America, Brookings' offers a podcast called Reimagine Rural. It features Pipa traveling through rural America and explores small-town challenges for residents who live in it.
