This absolutely squares with what I've seen in Oregon. Reporting on mining in eastern Oregon, I didn't find people excited about working in a polluting, dangerous business. I saw people who wanted living wage jobs in a region with very few options for that. Green manufacturing can succeed in very red places.

Rural Americans are older, sicker, and poorer and must navigate weaker health care infrastructures than urban residents. Place-neutral federal programs do not serve older rural residents well.

On my annual pilgrimage through rural Arkansas:

The public rest area with the Christian evangelical biker club guarding the bathrooms, requiring you to take a pamphlet to gain entry.

Arkansas Republicans see girls with no future as a good thing. Take Afghanistan or Iran, swap out the Quran for the Bible, and that's the vision they have for this state.

You might expect then that the fate of LGBTQ people would be pretty dire here. On that point, though, you’d be wrong. For reasons we can speculate about, WV is generally accepting of queer people.

Rural Americans vote for politicians who want to extinguish public services in favor of privatized services, only to realize only public services will serve them affordably. Then complain that public services are slow.

This old homestead sits along a back road in Beaufort County, North Carolina. Mother Nature is quickly reclaiming this property. One can't help by ponder on what led to this home reaching this state. What happened to those that once called it home?

Los Angeles Times - A round barn rises, with grief and hope, in rural America

A beautifully wrought piece, well worth your time, from the LA Times Hailey Branson-Potts

My latest is about my great-uncle Jay, a self-trained architect in rural Oklahoma who is building a round barn that’s become a prairie cathedral. He started as a way to process grief, but there’s such hope in its rafters.

COVID took a harsher toll in Rural America in early 2021: Rural residents and their friends and family members were more likely test positive; to seek treatment for anxiety or depression; to be late paying rent, mortgage, and other bills; to be unable to afford groceries or other necessities; and to get a loan from family or friends than urban peers.

This week on our podcast, host Tony Pipa visits Sunflower County, Mississippi to speak with local leaders about their efforts to build communities where people want to live. I really can't recommend it enough. Listen here: brookings.edu/podcast-episode/
