Answer :

Urban problems are not essentially worse than rural problems but it depends on the types of the problem.

What are the problems regarding this?

America's urban, suburban, and rural areas are currently dealing with a variety of issues. While some are shared by all types of communities, others are specific to the way of life in these various locales. Views regarding the severity of local issues are sometimes more closely correlated with race and socioeconomic position than they are with the type of community one lives in. This suggests that some of the problems facing Americans today may have more demographic than geographic roots.

About 50% of people in both urban and rural areas consider drug addiction to be a top issue: In their respective local communities, 50% and 46% each agree that this is a significant issue. In suburban areas, a smaller but still significant percentage of adults (35%) say drug addiction is a major issue there.

Urban inhabitants are more concerned about affordable housing, poverty, crime, and the standard of public schools than their suburban and rural counterparts are. For instance, 52% of adults in urban regions, compared to 34% in suburbs and 36% in rural areas, feel the lack of affordable housing is a big issue in their neighbourhood. In a similar vein, city dwellers are roughly twice as likely as suburbanites to say that crime is a big issue in their community (35% vs. 16%). One in five people who live in rural areas feel that crime is a serious issue there.

In rural locations, some issues stand out as being particularly severe. Residents of rural locations are substantially more likely than those in urban or suburban areas to report that there are jobs available: Compared to 34% of urban and 22% of suburban inhabitants, 42% of rural respondents feel this is a big problem in their town. Additionally, a huge majority of rural inhabitants feel that access to public transit is a big issue in their area.
