Rural Education At A Glance
This report provides the latest information from the 2000 Census and other Federal sources on the education characteristics of rural workers and counties. The report finds that racial educational differences remain large and that adult education levels remain far below the national average in many rural counties, particularly in the South. Counties with more educated populations appear to have performed better economically in the 1990s and have lower poverty rates.

Rural Poverty At A Glance
This publication provides the most recent information on poverty trends and demographic characteristics of the rural poor. While metro and nonmetro areas have shared similar patterns of reductions and increases in poverty rates over time, there continues to exist a wide and persistent gap between nonmetro and metro poverty rates. The report also documents large metro-nonmetro gaps when poverty is analyzed by race, ethnicity, age, and family structure.
