Rural populations

Rural populations refer to people living in areas outside cities and towns, often characterized by open space, farmland, or countryside. These communities tend to have lower population densities and fewer services than urban areas. Residents might work in agriculture, forestry, or small local businesses. Rural populations often experience different economic, social, and healthcare access compared to city dwellers, which can influence their lifestyle and opportunities. Understanding rural populations is essential for addressing regional development, resource allocation, and ensuring equitable access to services across diverse communities.
