Ross DeVol and the Walton Family Foundation just did small-town America a huge favor. They showed every rural community, through quantitative data and objective research, the way out of recession.
They did it by measuring the performance of every micropolitan area in the nation, from first through 531st. In case you’re wondering, Pecos, Texas is the top-performing small town in America. Zapata, Texas ranks dead last.
