  Rural Nova Scotia Means Business: Nova Scotia Rural Development Paper
Within rural Nova Scotia exists a cluster of counties that, relative to the communities on the ‘periphery’, are vibrant.
Nova Scotia is broken down into five economic regions: 1) Halifax (Halifax County); 2) Cape Breton (Cape Breton, Richmond, Victoria and Inverness counties); 3)Northern (Guysborough, Antigonish, Pictou, Colchester and Cumberland counties); 4) Annapolis (Hants, Kings and Annapolis counties); and Southern (Digby, Yarmouth, Shelburne, Queens and Lunenburg counties).
Such a comparison concludes that the population within rural Nova Scotia is older than the population in the province’s urban areas and is aging at a faster rate, unemployment rates are higher, incomes are lower, and there is an out-migration of youth from rural areas to urban areas.
