I live in a suburban area, but grew up in a rural area, i.e. an area which is outside towns and cities.
I live in a suburban area as well. I have never lived in a rural area. I guess that would have it's advantages and disadvantages. What area do you prefer living in?
I prefer a rural area, as it has a much smaller population and small, rather than large, settlements.
What kinds of things do people do in rural areas for entertainment?
In the pre-internet days there would be tv, the pub, the community center and sports. Nowadays, the internet means people can find all sorts of things to do.
What are some of the pluses living in a rural area, which is what, usually less than 2500 people?
Different countries have varying definitions of "rural", but one definition is having a population density of less than 150 people per square km.
Is it more difficult to access things like healthcare in a rural area since it is farther away from everything?
Well, many rural areas are close to or part of what's called Intermediate regions, so there is access to health care, but not in the more remote regions.
That's good that it is not too much of a concern. I would imagine agricultural and farming would be very common in rural areas as opposed to urban areas, is that correct?
