Poll: What kind of area do you live in?

[WinkOsmosis]

Austin.. urban I suppose. Can't really tell with this city. If you have been to Austin you know what I'm talking about.

For anyone curious as to why over 50% of the votes in the poll are Suburban...

If you ask this question of people in the United States, the ones who can afford to own computers are the ones who live in suburbia.
As a general rule of thumb in the USA, those who can afford to, will flee to suburbs. The reason for this is most white people want to flee the racial conflict and the poor in the cities.
Mind you most cities have at least a few neighborhoods that have gentrification (middle and upper class income people moving into urban neighborhoods), usually neighborhoods that have a low racial mix. This is where I fall in.

However the flee to the suburbs trend isn't universal. For example in Australia, things are the opposite, the affluent go to the inner cities, not the suburbs.

I have lived at one point or time in all three places and the one I enjoy calling home now is Rural.

I work in the city and it's very nice to come home to "quite".

~ No neighbors
~ No dogs barking
~ No loud noises
~ No Sirens in the middle of the night
~ My yard doesn't belong to the entire neighborhood

Just peace and quite!

With the Population density in NJ today, is anywhere in NJ NOT considered Urban??

especially from Trenton on up. there must be 7 million people or more living in that area. that's a pretty small area for 7 million people.

for those not familiar with NJ, look it up on a map, only Delaware and Rhode Island are smaller than NJ.

total population of NJ is 10 million. Highest population density of any state in the US.

I'm just outside of Woodstown, NJ, and I very much so consider it to be rural.

I currently live about 20 miles from the centre of London, pretty much suburban but getting to the borders of rural.
If I lived 5 miles further west then it would definitely be rural

 

[jaeger66]

These distinctions don't really apply in too many parts of Phoenix.

 

[Electric Amish]

Rural that is quickly turning suburban.

ya, that was the case in the US just 30 yrs ago also. In S Korea the affluent move to seoul. but eventually with infrastructure and standard of living going up the move will be to the suburbs again.
