RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — The South Dakota School of Mines and Technology is hosting a demography conference this week.

The third annual 2015 South Dakota Demography Conference on Thursday and Friday will focus on forecasting the rural-urban divide in the state.

The event features a mini-conference on the state of South Dakota’s economy and sessions on poverty, racial disparities and economic growth. Other presentations will highlight changes in health and education, and hands-on workshops will focus on strategies for finding and working with data for strategic planning, policymaking and grant-writing.

Friday’s noon session titled “From Reservation to Rapid City” will discuss how does mobility within the Native American community affects businesses, schools, healthcare and policing.
