So guys - do you feel that rural seems to be pretty poor only?

I don't. The cost of living is less generally so even if you aren't making as much money goes a bit further.

Pretty much everywhere, yes. Always exceptions, but the average person living in any rural area is normally pretty poor.

I agree with that. I'd rather live in a rural area. I grew up in one, and we weren't poor. I'm not poor now, and I would rather live there. We have a lot of areas that are "rural" but you can get to a large area in less than 20 minutes. I prefer to live in the quiet and then go to the city if I need to.

I am sorry, but your concept of rural america seems inclusive of most small town america. Small town != rural.

Yeah, I grew up rural. I love small towns, both in the US and abroad. Small towns and big cities are my favourite places to be. Rural is just empty; and suburbs make me shudder. But rural and small towns are vastly different for sure.

The guy that delivers us fruit didn't have the fruit that I wanted this morning. So this afternoon after he was done with deliveries he ran up to our place with his car to drop off specifically the fruit that we had wanted!

I generally agree that a lot of suburbia is pretty shit.
Schaumburg, IL is good for a suburb, but it is still a suburb. -

Schaumburg, IL is good for a suburb, but it is still a suburb.That's how I feel about Carollton, TX. I like that it has a lot of character and culture and is part of Little Salvador.

My parents have 10 acres and a few of my friends in high school had farms with ~500. I graduated with 98 people. We're fairly rural.
For example, the whole county I grew up in is eligible for a USDA loan.

My dad's LAWN is 10 acres! I kid you not. The little farm that we had was 73 overall. Have friends with thousands.
Graduating class was 64 and that was ten combined districts to make that one class. So we averaged 6.4 kids per grade per year per district. And we took kids from other counties, too.

Ya our mowed yard was only about 4. They have a large field and a lot of wooded area too that was good for hunting and riding 4-wheelers.
I don't know how many districts our was made up of, but we had kids ride on the bus that was around a 20 minute drive from their house to get to the school without picking other kids up. I love these areas.
Just sucks it's hard to get useful internet out there sometimes.

Definitely where we were, the average people out there were super poor. Still are.

I think we would be small town similar to this. Southern-tier is pretty much all small town. There is some rural areas but the nothing for miles thing doesn't happen until you get further up north.
