I live in a suburban are but after I retire hope to move in a rural area.
Rural areas are located outside town
Yes I know and outside of city's more like countryside where did you grow up at?
Whatever is not urnab within an urban area is rural
The good thing about rural area is the population is smaller it's about 1000 people.
Typical rural areas havea low population density and small settlements 
I wonder how they make most of their money in such a smaller population some people think they are poorer because of living conditions.
Agricultural areas are commonly rural as are other types of areas such as forest
Why would the forest be considered a rural area? 
It has small settlements like hunters
