Migrating Seniors

They are gon'na be moving on! Today's Robert Powell Retirement Blog on CBS MarketWatch web site, says small towns and rural areas are going to grow significantly between 2010 and 2020. This increase in rural population will be driven by retiring Baby Boomers. Southern small towns and rural areas will grow, over all, by 26.1 percent, according to Powell. Also, the migration of Baby Boomers to vacation areas will accelerate. Perhaps it is a desire to get to a place that is not moving at such a fast pace, or a little less crowded, that will drive this migration. In any case, I can vouch for Athens, Alabama and Limestone County -- the living is good here! Call me!
