Answer:
Rural states lost population, while states with large cities gained population.
Step-by-step explanation:
Rural states like Oklahoma, Indiana, and Kentucky lost a lot of population. The Dustbowl cost people their farms and lands mortgaged to pay for the seeds and fertilizers. People migrated massively to richer states like California and New York. Caravans and settlements sprouted all along the way, but mainly, the population ended in and around large cities.
