America’s College Towns Go From Boom to Bust​

Many state universities are losing more students every year, failing the local economies they once fostered​

“… For generations, colleges around the U.S. fueled local economies, creating jobs and bringing in students to shop and spend. Growing student enrollment fattened school budgets and freed universities from having to worry about inefficiencies or cutting costs.

The student boom has since ended, and college towns are suffering.

Among metropolitan areas especially reliant on higher education, three-quarters of them suffered weaker economic growth between 2011 and 2023 than the U.S. as a whole, according to an analysis by Mark Muro and Shriya Methkupally at Brookings Metro, a nonprofit think tank in Washington, D.C.

In the prior decade, most of these same metro areas grew faster than the nation did.

“It’s just been one financial crisis after another for the past 15 or 17 years,” said Andrew Koricich, executive director of the Alliance for Research on Regional Colleges and a professor of higher education at Appalachian State University in Boone, N.C. “It starts to accumulate in smaller college towns, especially for colleges that don’t have billions of dollars in the bank.”

… Even worse, the number of students graduating from American high schools is expected to start falling next spring, after reaching a record high this year. In 2007, the number of U.S. births peaked at 4.3 million and has been falling almost every year since. …”
