Rural Demographics

Rural demographics refer to the characteristics and statistics of populations living in non-urban or countryside areas. This includes factors such as age, gender, income, education level, family structure, and employment. Typically, rural areas have lower population densities and can face unique challenges, such as limited access to healthcare and education, economic opportunities, and infrastructure. Understanding these demographics is essential for planning services, developing policies, and addressing the needs of rural communities, which often differ significantly from those in urban settings.
