The rural atlas, maintained and updated each year by the Economic Research Service (ERS) at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, features an interactive map with county-level data. The report provides statistics on three broad categories of socioeconomic factors: demographics, including migration and immigration, education, and characteristics of veteran population; jobs, with employment trends, industrial composition, and household income; and county classifications that include the rural-urban continuum, economic dependence, persistent poverty, and other characteristics.
