Book Description
All five variables for college towns were higher than non-college towns. These results could be predicted when the demographic trends for the last decades were compared between college towns and non-college towns. While rural small towns have generally faced a loss of population, the population of these 11 college towns has increased. The presence of higher educational institutions brings demographic advantages to their surrounding communities. It enhances a community's economy.
