Woodstock Generation Going Up the Country
MATR Sponsor (view all)
They might not have known it but Canned Heat’s classic Going Up the Country at the now 40 year-old festival was prognostic – at least in terms of where the Woodstock generation would be moving in the 2010s. John Cromartie and Peter Nelson’s recently released USDA report – Baby Boom Migration and Its Impact on Rural America http://www.ers.usda.gov/publications/err79/ – says that the baby boomers have already shown more affinity for moving to rural and small town destinations than older or younger cohorts.
As many boomers end child-rearing duties, enter peak employment earnings and ponder retirement options they are now poised to significantly increase the population of 55-75 year olds in rural and small town America through 2020, with major social and economic implications for their chosen locations.
