Just moved from major metro area to rural America - observations

As mostly over 7 million subway street areas, some of which may be obvious, please be patient. My 2 cents only:

1. Cost of living: day and night. I borrowed a beautiful two bedroom house with beautiful decoration (granite counter top, washer / dryer, 0.5 acre land space) for $ 400 a month. I can get all groceries for less than $ 75 this week. Beer is cheap. Everything is cheap. You can live 50k here. I earned 80,000 in this big city and paid my salary.

2. Food This is the maximum adjustment. It is a 5-minute walk from my old park and there are 40 to 50 restaurants. India, Thailand, Korea, High End, Diving, Funky, Normal. All there is no problem. The food here is very boring and the selection is very limited. Basically, fast food + Chinese food is "eating out". If you like prying for food, have complicated taste, or are using varieties, the American village is very dark.

People people are good and polite, but they are also very slow (whether it is voice mode ... ......). Ironic is not what they understand. Everything is a face, religion is very important, and body health is not emphasized. Generally speaking, people are very outdated.

4. All the environment is very scattered. A lot of things are very important. I saw another house from the living room window. In this city, 50 thousand people live half a mile from me. The road is wide. The street is completely beautiful. But everything looks a bit beige and monotonous. There are not many styles and designs. All practical, basic, simple, and traditional

After all, I like all the faults of the city, crime, filth, loneliness. Life here is too simple. I began to get bored, I stayed here for several weeks

Since I just moved from an American village to a metropolitan area, I hope people like you will stay in this town, close our road and stop, and the rent will rise.

To further get hurt, most American automation stories are enjoying in free metropolitan areas, and most conservative rural areas are affected. According to Daily Yonder, 80% of the work created in 2016 is in 51 metropolitan areas, more than 1 million people are working. These metropolitan areas received 2 million jobs from January 2017 to 2017 - only one year. At the same time, in rural areas 90,000 jobs are decreasing at the same time. Currently, more than 52 million Americans live in counties that are considered economically difficult. According to a bipartisan research and advocacy group Economic Innovation Group (EIG) report, there is a close relationship between community size and prosperity, counties with population less than 100,000 are more than 100,000 counties I have a problem 11 times.

Out of the counties experiencing over-average excess mortality in 2015, 646, or about two-thirds are rural in the USA, 154 towns (16%) are small towns, 126 (13%) 56 (6%), which is the largest suburban county metropolitan area in the country, is an urban county in these metropolitan areas. According to our type, this distribution roughly reflects the overall distribution of the counties of the four geographic categories. 65% of the counties are rural areas, 17% are small cities, 15% are suburbs, and 4% are cities. (For details on geographical definitions, see "Method description".)

Metropolitan areas themselves are more diverse than other United States, metropolitan cities and counties are the most diverse. However, the most mixed ethnic and ethnic counties in the United States are urban counties outside the central area of ​​urban areas. For example, the most diverse region of New York City is not Manhattan. It is Queens and the most diverse counties in the United States. That is, Hispanics 28%, Asia 26%, White 25%, Black 18%. Suburbs in metropolitan areas, especially low density suburbs, are changing most rapidly. Between 2010 and 2016 urban counties, small to medium cities or rural areas are becoming more diverse at a faster rate (in this simple way)
