Newcomers to the Nebraska Panhandle: Why Did They Move Here?

Even though much attention has been focused on the depopulation of rural areas across the country, the 2000 U.S. Census figures show that new residents are moving to the Nebraska Panhandle. This is an encouraging finding. Additional new residents can be recruited to move to the region if the reasons why people move here are better understood.
