Original publisher: [Washington, D.C.] : U.S. Government Accountability Office, [2004] OCLC Number: (OCoLC)57046282 Subject: Rural poor -- United States. Excerpt: ... Rural and urban counties experienced about the same amount of caseload Nationally, Rural and decline between 1997 and 2003. Specifically, the number of families, on Urban TANF Caseloads average per month, receiving TANF cash assistance in rural counties in the Have Declined Similarly, 4 40 states covered by our analysis decreased by 43.9 percent, and urban with Some Distinct 5 counties had a 44.1 percent caseload decrease. However, as shown in Exceptions in Some States figure 3, rural TANF caseloads declined somewhat more than urban caseloads from 1997 to 2001. 4 This analysis includes all states that provided reliable caseload data for the years 1997 and 2003. See appendix I for a list of those states. 5 The number of all families living in rural counties grew at a lower rate from1990 to 2000 than it did for urban counties. Because of this, without other offsetting factors, greater TANF caseload decline in rural counties than in urban counties might have been expected between 1997 and 2003. Specifically, for the 40 states included in our caseload change analysis, the percentage increase in all families was 6.0 in rural counties and 9.9 in urban counties from 1990 to 2000, according to decennial census data.
