[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8416783, member: 4534"] Is the [URL='https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/geography/guidance/geo-areas/urban-rural/2010-urban-rural.html']US Census[/URL] a good enough source? In 2010, the percentage of the US population living in urban areas, defined as 50,000+ people, was 80% of the population. Another 9.5% of the population lived in urban clusters which were areas with a population of 2,500-49,999 people. A hair under 20% of the US population lived in rural areas in 2010. More Americans have lived in urban areas than rural since the 1920 census. And, guys, he's right. There are places in the United States where you can get a dirt cheap house that's not so bad. We have a lot of California retirees here in the Ozarks precisely because it's much more economical for them to live in Arkansas or Missouri than it is to stay in California. My company hired a VP from California and he was absolutely floored at how much larger a house he could buy here for what he'd pay back home. That said, houses are often cheaper because there's less of a demand for them for whatever reason. My grandfather's home in Sacramento, CA sold for nearly $270,000 in 2011. My grandparents bought the house new in the 1950s and [I]nothing [/I]had been updated. There was no air conditioning, the kitchen counters and cabinets were original, and there was extensive termite damage. I can't imagine paying $270k for that dump but someone bought it and turned it into a rental unit. [/QUOTE]
