RURAL ADVANTAGE: When the Small Town Is the Smart Move

Want to know why so many Americans are choosing to relocate to small towns and rural communities? Talk to the folks who have made the move.

When Roshonda Hightower moved last year from Albany, Georgia, to Tell City, Indiana, she said she did so “for the peace and affordability that’s hard to find in the big cities.” She added, “As a remote worker, I wanted a place with a strong sense of community, beautiful surroundings and a slower pace of life. Tell City in Perry County, having the reliable fiber internet which I needed as a remote worker, checked all the boxes.”

Hightower is far from alone. All across the U.S., individuals and families are opting for a quieter and often safer lifestyle by ditching the bright lights of the big city and moving to Small Town USA. The numbers back it up.
