Census numbers show population decline in small towns in the Midwest.
"The 2000 census confirmed long-held suspicions: Many small towns inisolated stretches of the Midwest and Great Plains are withering away. Schools are closing, farmers are giving up and young people are moving out, leaving behind the elderly in communities struggling to stay on the map.The latest census numbers show dozens of counties in South Dakota, North Dakota, Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and Illinois lost people in the 1990s."
