The
purpose of the Online Journal
of Rural Research and Policy is
to expand publication opportunities for
scholars in rural studies, including all
areas of academic research, and corporate and government
policy. While
our areas of publication thus far may fall in a particular
area or areas of academia, please do not take this to
be a reflection of a narrow subject interest on our
part. [Read

The purpose of this paper is to examine population change and net migration between 1995 and 2000 for Montana and Wyoming by county. The first section of the paper examines nonmetropolitan population change in the U.S. as a whole beginning with the unprecedented growth of nonmetropolitan counties in the 1970s. Nonmetropolitan counties are defined as counties without a central city population of 50,000. This is the predominant type of county in Montana and Wyoming, which together have only six counties of metropolitan status out of a total of 79 counties. Secondly, the spatial distribution of population change by county and net migration between 1995 and 2000 is examined and a typology is created to examine four types of counties based on net migration and population change. Within this section, the relationship between net migration and population change is explored with emphasis on age patterns. In the third section regression analysis is used to determine which factors contributed to net migration exchanges between 1995 and 2000. The conclusion suggests avenues for further research.
