I live in a rural area. My town is located outside of a city.
So is it a lot of farms or cabins where you live?
Plenty of farms, not so many cabins. My town like all other rural areas, has a low population density. Not too many people out here.
Do you enjoy it like that?  There is a lot of traffic where I live and I wish there was not.
Yes I do, I enjoy the quiet. You must live in an urban area. Whatever is not urban is considered rural.
Yes, we live about 20 miles from the city area, so not rural.  But we do have some farms here and there.
Yes agricultural areas are mostly rural and also forests. 
I would not have thought about forests, that is interesting.  What about areas like lakes and rivers as well?
I believe it depends on where the lakes or river is located. If it is outside of a town or city it would be rural.
I would think they would help the rural areas, especially the farms and such.  What is the population like in a rural area?
