An excellent article and am so pleased that you are out in the field, seeing first hand what population change looks like. To paraphrase Ernest Hemingway when describing bankruptcy, its the same with rural towns in many parts of Southern Europe and Eastern Asia, change occurs 'Gradually then suddenly'. Keep up the good work.
