Progress 10/01/05 to 09/30/06
Outputs
Cromartie's research on Black migration to the south resulted in a journal article in Southeastern Geographer. Kandelas research on Hispanic population growth was published in a variety of outlets, including a book chapter (in Population Change and Rural Society) and ERS publications such as an Amber Waves feature article and an EIB, Rural Hispanics at a Glance. In February 2006, Kandel co-edited the volume Population Change and Rural Society, (Springer Press), including an insightful overview chapter identifying and discussing four key issues in rural population dynamics. Kandel revised several issue briefs that have been written by contributors and disseminated them through the four regional rural development centers.
Impacts
The recent ERS report, Rural Hispanics at a Glance, by William Kandel presents highlights of the research in a format targeted to a broad audience. The EIB has been very well received, with 100-200 copies regularly requested for distribution to a wide range of professional and practitioner conferences, ranging from the National Association of Counties annual legislative meeting to a South Dakota Agricultural Extension conference. Kandel has received requests for interviews from a wide range of media outlets, including the Washington Post, Houston Chronicle, Associated Press, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette and others.

Progress 10/01/04 to 09/30/05
Outputs
A recurring finding in our research is the distinct demographic profile of Hispanics in new rural destinations outside of the traditional Southwest settlement region. Compared with the Hispanic population nationally, Hispanics in 'rapid Hispanic growth' nonmetro counties are significantly younger, have less education, are more likely to be foreign-born, and are poorer. Nevertheless, other measures indicate greater employment success relative to rural Hispanics in other nonmetro counties.
Impacts
Requests for copies of Kandelas recent ERS report, Rural Hispanics at a Glance, (which highlights the breadth of the research in a format targeted to a broad audience) have come in from many professional and practitioner groups, ranging from the National Association of Counties annual legislative meeting to a South Dakota Agricultural Extension conference. Also Kandel has received requests for interviews from a wide range of media outlets, including the Washington Post, Houston Chronicle, Associated Press, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette and others. Kandel briefed the CSREES-USDA Executive Council on aRural Hispanic Population Growth in the United States: Trends, Causes, and Impactsa in January 2005 and presented the research findings at a series of geography, sociology, population, and agricultural economics conferences over the last year.
