September 6, 2018: Seventy percent (70%) of rural residents say that people who live in the suburbs or urban areas don’t understand the kinds of problems they face. A Pew Research study found that 65% of those who live in urban areas feel equally misunderstood. Just 52% of suburban dwellers hold that view.[1]
Sixty-three percent (63%) of rural residents have lived in their communities for 11 years or longer. Just 25% would move if given the chance.
The numbers are more even for urban residents. Just 45% have been in their community for 11 years or more, and 37% would move if given the chance.
Overall, about one out of five adults have always lived near the community where they grew up.
