As the Black Death was easily transmitted in the dirty, unsanitary, and crowded condition typical of Medieval towns and cities, it very quickly ravaged its way through many of them. With death rates well above 50% (and as much as 90% in the case of the pneumonic version), towns quickly were de-populated.
This was for two reasons: (a) vast numbers of the former townfolk caught the disease and died, and (b) a widespread fear of the disease (the method of transmission was not understood), so people tended to flee from wherever an outbreak occurred.
The end result was large numbers of small and mid-sized towns simply ceased to exist, as their populations either died or fled to the countryside. Those that did continue on had their economic activity severely curtailed, as people were afraid to gather in any numbers to conduct business, since such gatherings typically resulted in some members catching the Plague.
