Research has shown that, while people in their 20s often leave rural communities, a higher percentage of young adults in their 30s choose rural communities, Schmitt-Wilson said. Still, most of the research on migration of young adults to rural communities focuses on "returners," or those choosing to move home to the community they were raised in, she added.

[...] The researchers found that while study participants were candid about challenges associated with life in rural areas of Montana—such as a lack of amenities and geographic and social isolation—they also highlighted a number of benefits.

"Those benefits included the quality of life they experience in their rural communities, including family-centered environments, low cost of living, unconditional support provided by community members, intergenerational friendships, increased sociability and unique opportunities for personal and professional growth available for young adults in rural communities," Schmitt-Wilson said.

If urban centers are in lockdown and their amenities are gone, would young people still choose city life or would places like rural Montana do?

    Democrats turn cities into literal shitholes. [newsmax.com] Needles everywhere, mentally ill junkies left to roam free and entire industries of useless leftist assholes where continued employment requires they not solve any problems. Theft decriminalized, cash bail scrapped and aliens [filmyone.com] welcomed at taxpayer expense. Apparently it remains a mystery to some why people escape the tax burdens of these liberal utopias in favor of areas that have no plans to introduce gender neutral bathrooms.

    Or it may be that the city liberals realized they can't win if they let the flyover country unoccupied and started to turn them liberal too.

      The lack of good lattes or a decent knish in "flyover country" repels city liberals. The weather usually polishes off those who grit their teeth through drip coffee.
