From my experience small towns can hang on until the school closes. After that, they tend to dry up. The school is still going strong in the little town a mile from me, 172 people. At school programs many of the kids have parents, grandparents and great grandparents in the audience.
Yes, closures of schools and local post offices seem to be the final nail in the coffin, so to speak. Then the town are basically done.
