“…Each county has natural resources that are a draw for tourism: several coastal state parks in the case of Coos County and Moosehead Lake in the case of Piscataquis County. Unlike the communities that Sherman and Schafft (2022) document in this issue experiencing rural gentrification, the remote location relative to urban centers, interstate freeways, and airports of our study areas may limit that potential. This provides an opportunity for these manufacturingcentric places to consider a slower or more intentional growth trajectory, perhaps one that can mitigate some of the inequalities that may stem from higher amenity growth.…”

Maineundergraduate research assistants Angelina Buzzelli of the Business School and Liz Capodilupo of Wildlife Ecology, our local steering committees in Maine and Oregon, and the many community partners who helped make this project a success. While they made it a success, the project would not have been possible without the more than two thousand rural youth who shared their feelings and hopes for the future with us: thank you. In addition, the authors thank three anonymous reviewers as well as the editors of this special issue:

“…Along with our descriptive results (table A.1), this suggests that youth growing up in rural areas do not have significantly different educational or economic outcomes from urban youth so long as they migrate in adulthood. Indeed, qualitative evidence indicates that rural housing and economic development efforts disproportionately advantage wealthier inmigrants to rural areas, rather than long-time residents, and that schools are a key mechanism in this divergence (see Sherman and Schafft 2022).…”

2. A full review of the impact of place-based policies is beyond the scope of this article (see Glaeser and Gottlieb 2008;Kline and Moretti 2014;Neumark and Simpson 2015). Most research, however, finds modest short-run effects on a limited set of outcomes that are closely related to the domain of the intervention, such as housing, economic development, or crime (Braga et al. 2001;Busso, Gregory, and Kline 2013;Tach and Emory 2017). 3. States and local jurisdictions have also used place-based targeting initiatives. Future research should consider whether state and local initiatives complement or supplement federal funding.

“…In contrast to the lives of the low-income respondents, community leaders and their children were able to pursue higher education somewhat farther afield. Clay County, like many rural places, has experienced a brain drain (Carr and Kefalas 2009;Sherman and Schafft 2022;Bernsen et al 2022). Many community leaders expressed concern about this.…”

a period of "demographic density," a stage during which individuals experience transitions and embrace new roles in rapid succession (Rindfuss 1991;Manning 2020).Scholars have delineated the Big 5 markers of adulthood that historically signaled adult status: leaving home, finishing school, finding work, getting married, and having children Coming of Age in Appalachia, Emerging or Expedited Adulthood?emily e. n. miller a nd k athry n edinWe examine the transition to adulthood in a poor, white, rural community in Appalachia. Young adults come of age in a context of persistent poverty, economic decline, an ongoing opioid and addiction crisis, and strong community norms about family and work bolstered by religious institutions. For low-income young adults in this community, this stage in the life course is both expedited and emerging. Marriage and childbearing are expedited, frequently occurring in late teens or early twenties. However, other adult markers-such as stable employment, pursuing education, and leaving the parental home-are often slow to emerge and are usually only tentatively achieved. This pattern is in contrast to middle-class young adults in this community.
