During the twentieth century, Americans massively moved from the countryside to the big cities. In 1910, 54% of the US population lived in small towns, in 2018, this figure is only 19%. Therefore, many localities are creative in solving the problem of depopulation, offering a reward for moving there.

1. Free land plots

In the first half of the twentieth century, Loop City, Nebraska, boasted extensive agricultural production, but after the Second World War, the population of this small town is constantly decreasing, currently there are about 1000 inhabitants in it.

Five years ago, the town launched a program to attract new residents. The authorities of Loop City built a suburb called John, which improved the roads, installed new sewer lines, and also decided to distribute land plots free of charge to everyone who wanted to build a house in the town within a year after receiving the land.

Now in the town there is only one site available for free. After its owner is found, the authorities intend to launch a new program aimed at the cultivation of alfalfa fields, which will also include free land.

You can also get land for free in Camden, Maine. This is a charming little town, where any entrepreneur can get a plot for free if he creates an environmentally friendly business that will employ at least 24 local residents.

2 Money

Using grants from the Department of Economic Development, Harmony, Minn., Offers everyone to build a house in the city for a fee of up to 12 000 dollars.

At the moment, a little more than a thousand people live in the town. In developing a program to attract new residents to the community, the Harmony authorities concluded that it is more profitable to give a reward than to distribute land, since this money basically later returns to the town’s economy through purchases made by new residents.

Also, a cash reward offers residents of New Haven in Connecticut. The city has a program that provides grants of up to 10 000 dollars for a down payment on a house or covering the cost of arranging for a new home. In addition, city employees, teachers, firefighters, policemen, and military personnel are eligible for additional grant dollars 2500.

3. Free education

Being quite lively in the past, the city of Niagara Falls in New York faced a reduction in population. But the settlement on the border of New York and Canada, which currently has 50 000 residents, has developed a creative plan to attract more young residents.

In exchange for a city repaying a student loan of 7000 dollars over two years, college graduates must agree to rent or buy a house near the city center.

The authorities came to this decision not only because of the desire to “rejuvenate” the population of the city, but also because if the number of Niagara Falls is less than 50 thousand, the settlement will lose federal funding.

The authorities also help to repay student loans to residents 73 counties in Kansasthat offer a student loan payment: residents who have moved to one of the districts are eligible to receive up to 3 000 dollars a year to pay off their tuition fees, payments can be made for several years before reaching the maximum total amount of 15 000 dollars.
