Between 2010 and 2013, the nation's nonmetropolitan areas lost population. One factor behind the loss is slower growth of the Hispanic population...
Average annual percent change in the Hispanic population of nonmetropolitan counties
1990-2000: 4.9%
2000-2010: 3.6%
2010-2013: 2.1%
The one-two punch of slower Hispanic growth and an outright decline in the non-Hispanic population of nonmetropolitan areas (-0.2% between 2010 and 2013) led to the overall loss.
