520 _a"At the end of the 1990s, one of the most prosperous decades in our country's history, one of every five rural children was living in a family with income below the official poverty line of $18,000 per year for a family of four. Rural areas have historically had higher child poverty rates than metropolitan areas, but the rural-urban gap grew significantly during the late 1990s. We hope that this PRB Reports on America will revise many outdated yet still popular images of rural family life. This report provides a fresh perspective by offering a comprehensive profile of rural children." (POPULATION REFERENCE BUREAU)
