Counterurbanisation has significantly altered the demographic and socio-economic landscape of many rural and semi-rural settlements across the UK.
Which of the following is a well-documented socio-economic consequence of this trend for the pre-existing, lower-income residents of these receiving rural communities?
Increased displacement and exclusion from the local housing market due to property price inflation driven by affluent urban migrants.
Enhanced community cohesion and a revitalization of traditional village institutions as new commuters actively integrate into local parish activities.
A decline in the cost of local goods and services due to economies of scale introduced by major urban retailers relocating to village high streets.
A significant expansion of rural public transport networks funded by the increased council tax revenue from commuter households.
