Nearly 60% of the affected counties are mountainous and old districts, with poor economic conditions and relatively weak self-help capabilities. In 2011, the 21 affected counties achieved a regional GDP of 154.53 billion yuan, less than 6.5% of the province's total. In 2011, local public finance revenue was 10.32 billion yuan, only 9.6% of the province's total. The proportion of rural population was as high as 62%, and the proportion of agriculture was relatively large.
