本文比较了非都市退休县与其他类型非都市退休县的人口和就业增长趋势。非大都市退休县在美国约2400个非大都市县中占481个。自1980年以来，非大都市退休县占所有非大都市人口增长的一半以上，其增长率是其他非大都市县的四倍多。1980年后，非大都市退休县的就业增长也远远超过其他非大都市县。地方政府的财政数据显示，为满足日益增长的老年人口的需求，服务支出有所增加。讨论了社区发展从业者在评估退休移民作为当地发展选择的影响时使用的策略。
This paper compares recent trends in population and employment growth in nonmetropolitan retirement counties with those in other types of nonmetropolitan counties. Nonmetropolitan retirement counties number 481 out of approximately 2,400 nonmetropolitan U.S. counties. Since 1980, nonmetropolitan retirement counties have accounted for over half of all nonmetropolitan population growth and they have grown at a rate over four times greater than that for the remaining nonmetropolitan counties. Post-1980 employment growth in nonmetropolitan retirement counties also far outstripped that for the remaining nonmetropolitan counties. Local government fiscal data indicate increased expenditures for services to meet the needs of growing elderly populations. Strategies for community development practitioners to use in assessing the effects of retirement migration as a local development option are discussed.
