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.
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.
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.

Half of the territory of my school district is rural while the other half is small towns and takes up about 4 towns of kids. Most of the kids were from the small town areas and the rest were from rural. I didn't live in the rural area, so can't attest to 10-acre front yards.

Rural... hugging the edge of an enormous city, though.

Then that's not my situation at all. Oh, and we had a graduating class of close to 165ish.

Like where I'm from, the nearest city was an hour away and not very big.

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.
I wonder if Omaha would just be one huge suburb for you?

Okay, keep telling yourself that.
