Abstract: The social and economic assessments conducted for the Interior Columbia Basin Ecosystem Management Project characterized social and economic conditions and trends. The basin has a robust economy that is growing, diversifying, and reducing the importance of traditional resource industries. Even so, there remain many places that are not sharing in this prosperity or easily adapting to the changes to traditional rural lifestyles that growth brings.
