I live in a pretty rural area. We have a hospital and urgent care 12 minutes away, though for anything that isn't immediately life threatening I'd be driving an hour for much better hospital care in a larger city.


That honestly doesn't sound very rural at all.


There are definitely more rural areas, that just depends on where you draw the line on what is considered "rural".

This area is unincorporated and the nearest towns all have a few thousand people or less.

When we moved here I was actually surprised that we had a hospital in one of those small towns. Its part of a larger network that and the city an hour away has a big training hospital and med school, I assume that's why there's a smaller hospital in our area.

For reference, our only "grocery stores" withing 45 minutes are Walmarts and Dollar Generals.
