Rural Tools & Resources from the Urban Institute

Good data on rural communities can come from unexpected partners. Founded in 1968 by President Lyndon B. Johnson, the Urban Institute is one of America’s preeminent social and economic policy research institutions. Much like TX Rural Funders, the Urban Institute recognizes the innate interconnection between urban and rural communities. Urban Institute produces rural research and analysis on numerous issues including: asset-based rural development, health, education, workforce, environment, housing and infrastructure, and more.
