The soil of the New England region is in many parts not much suited for agriculture and today you won't find much farmland there. But back when it was still a colony people coming to New England either settled (mostly) in Boston or tried to make a living elsewhere in the area, which as all colonial areas was then mostly rural. Which of the two was 'better' is a matter of opinion and of how we are to understand your question in the first place. In terms of quality of life, urban and rural life differed but in their own way were equally harsh back then; in terms of fitness of the soil, New England is not much suited for commercial farming.
Farming and agriculture! Whenever you hear the words "southern colonies," you should automatically make the connection that they were made up of rural and agricultural-based communities.
In 1327, the population of England is estimated to have been around 4 to 5 million people. This figure reflects a period of relative stability after the Black Death, which had significantly reduced the population in the preceding decades. The population was primarily rural, with most people living in small villages and farming communities.
Rural life is like living on the outside of all the commotion In the city they will have traffic, skyscrapers many people and loads of job opportunities In the countryside (rural) it will be quiet, no one around in some cases and the jobs available are limited. So people who live a rural life are basically outsiders!
Immigrants and rural Americans who came to the cities to earn a living. (I think that's right. This is the answer I wrote...)
Most towns and cities, along with various rural houses and communities in England were bombed during World War II.
The southern colonies were more rural than urban, with a majority of the population living in rural areas and engaging in agriculture, particularly cash crop farming like tobacco, rice, and indigo. Urban centers such as Charleston and Savannah did exist but were smaller in comparison to the rural population.
easy enough. to find the percentage subtract the percentage of people living in urban areas from 100.
It's supposedly an idealized view of rural living in medieval England.
The Southern Colonies.
The northern colonies were mostly urban.

England Rural Development Programme was created in 2007.
Campaign to Protect Rural England was created in 1926.
A person living in a rural area is typically referred to as a villager or a rural resident.
People moving from rural (villages) areas of the country into cities. :)

No, it is not true that after 1880 the balance of the population in England shifted toward increasing numbers moving to rural areas. In fact, during this period, there was a significant trend of urbanization, with more people moving to cities due to industrialization and economic opportunities. The rural population generally decreased as people sought jobs and better living conditions in urban areas. This trend continued into the 20th century, with cities growing larger at the expense of rural populations.
