I spent some time in eastern Germany where they are trying to solve problems related to depopulation. This is slightly different than underpopulation, but several problems are present in both situations.
The primary problem is providing access to services. Rural areas seldom have public transit as the costs are high, due to long distances needed to travel, and ridership is low. Certain businesses require a critical mass of people to be profitable. A store which everyone needs, like a grocery store, might be fine, but stores with a smaller market, like a music store might find it difficult to find customers. Therefore, more specialized and niche products will be difficult to find.
Even in the case where a business is profitable, it might not have competition. If there is only one grocery store, it effectively has a monopoly and can sell low-quality products for higher prices without the risk of losing customers.
There is also the cost of infrastructure. A one-mile stretch of road costs the same to build and maintain whether 10 people live on it or 100 people. Therefore, simply maintaining infrastructure has a higher cost per person. This often means using lower quality infrastructure, such as gravel roads instead of paved roads.
Another problem is finding jobs. A person with specialized skills or knowledge might be underutilized as few people need their expertise. Being a graphic designer in a small town is not going to be as lucrative as being a graphic designer in a large city. Therefore, incomes will be lower.
