Rural Children: Increasing Poverty Rates Pose Educational Challenges

Report Date Jan. 11, 1994
Report No. HEHS-94-75BR
Subject
Summary:

Although the population of rural children declined during the 1980s, the number of children living in poverty increased, as did the numbers of those in families headed by single mothers and parents with little education--trends that pose challenges to the education systems serving these children. Rural poverty was concentrated by region, race, and ethnicity. For example, poverty rates among rural children were highest in the South and the Southwest. Also, in many states in these regions, the majority of the poor rural children were minorities. Rural counties make up more than 80 percent of the counties that, under changes proposed by the administration, would no longer be eligible for basic or concentration grants.
