As we enter the new millennium, the landscape of rural America has changed dramatically from the beginning of last century. In 1900, more than two-thirds of the nations population resided in rural areas. In 2000, less than one-quarter do. Rural Americas economy and lifestyle have changed as well. Traditional family farms and small town centers have been replaced by large corporate agriculture and strip malls. As the landscape of rural America has changed, so too have rural homes. For the most part these changes have been positive, as more rural residents have access to decent, safe, and more comfortable living environments than ever before. However, as documented in the following report, far too many rural Americans lack decent homes.
