 EPA abstract   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Impoverished rural places are often depicted as immobile communities populated by less skilled, less educated nonmovers who have been left behind by selective out-migrants.
In addition to factors commonly found in the residential mobility literature, such as age distribution, employment security, and life stage, the model also tests the effects of various indicators of housing costs and housing supply on geographic mobility rates in poor and nonpoor places.
The results indicate that, after controlling for age structure and household type, accessible housing in the form of rental housing is strongly associated with high mobility rates, though the overall fit of the models is better for nonpoor places.

 Without disturbances in nature the world's forests will be impoverished
Without the occurrence of wide-spread disturbances in nature, such as forest fires, icing, or volcanic activity, forests will eventually be impoverished, owing to a lack of phosphorous.
Ultimately the lack of phosphorous will become such a hindrance that the soil will no longer be able to provide sufficient nourishment for densely planted forests with large trees.
The patterns for how this impoverishment takes place, and its underlying mechanisms, are the same, regardless of what type of forest it is and where it is located on earth.

The practice of the Catholic faith was proscribed; sinforming was encouraged as 'an honorable service' and priest-hunting treated as a sport.
Such were the main provisions of the Penal Code, described by Edmund Burke as 'a machine as well fitted for the oppression, impoverishment and degradation of a people, and the debasement in them of human nature itself, as ever proceeded from the perverted ingenuity of man'.
The material damage suffered through the Penal Laws was great; ruin was widespread, old families disappeared and old estates were broken up; but the most disastrous effects were moral.
