世纪早期，德克萨斯州山区的经济停滞，人口减少。然而，在过去的三十年里，几个希尔县经历了人口财富的显著逆转，最终导致了一批富有的老年移民的涌入。本研究记录了1965年至1990年期间德克萨斯州丘陵地区34个县的人口普查数据。相关统计数据显示，在几个国家，老年人流入与经济复苏之间存在密切关系。特别是老年人的移民率与县收入的增长以及服务、零售和建筑业的增长密切相关。
Early in the 20th century economies stagnated and populations dwindled in the Texas Hill Country. Over the past three decades, however; several Hill Country counties have experienced a remarkable reversal of demographic fortune, culminating in a notable influx of older migrants with wealth. This study documents this flow with census data for 34 counties in Texas Hill Country between 1965 and 1990. Correlation statistics show a close relationship between elderly in-migrant flows and economic resurgence in several counties. In particular elderly in-migration rates were closely tied to increases in county income, as well as growth in the service, retail and construction sectors.
