The Shinking of Population in the Great Plains of the United States. In the Plain States (Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and North Dakota), where many of the American counties experiencing losses in population are concentrated, the variety of population dynamics is wider than expected. Besides persistent decline linked to rural outmigration and ageing in remote locations, the is also a rapid growth of the principal metropolitan areas of the region. In several counties, the reversal of demographic fortunes is linked to the recent creation of large meatpacking plants, which have recruited Mexican labor. The sudden arrival of Hispanics in small rural towns has generated tensions. The magnitude of rural depopulation in some counties has led to the proposal of a return to the original pre-Pioneer state of the area, known as the Buffalo Commons concept.
