Finally, the youthfulness of the Hispanic population produces a paucity of deaths because proportionately fewer Hispanics are in age groups at high risk of mortality. Clearly, a large secondary effect associated with rapid in-migration of Hispanics is now revealed in fertility and natural increase. Hispanics are rapidly dispersing geographically and natural increase is fueling the demographic and economic transformation of new destination communities. Our previous research revealed that about one-half of the nonmetro Hispanic population now resides outside of traditional Hispanic settlements in the rural Southwest (Johnson & Lichter, 2008).

Our research documents how the symbiotic interaction between natural increase and migration has played out differently over the geographic region that encompasses rural America. Our results clearly show that natural increase has re-emerged as a prominent demographic force in the growth of rural America in the first decade of the 21st century. Nearly 77% of the rural population growth since 2000 is due to natural increase. In fact, in remote rural areas, natural increase has fueled all the growth.
