Yes, Jem is observing that the people he sees on juries don't live in the town - they live in the country. Because they live in the country, the people from town don't really know the people sitting on the jury. At this time (similar to how it works today), there was a box or a list of names of the people living in Maycomb County, and juries are selected randomly. However, at this time, the names of women and African-Americans were not included on this list that jury members were selected from. If people had a legitimate reason to not serve on the jury, they could sometimes be excused

Atticus explains that he feels it's because they're not part of the average run of people, but also highlights that Miss Maudie can't serve on juries because she's a woman. He underscores the importance of serving on juries as a civic duty despite biases and prejudices.
