I agree there should be a second dataset, but rural areas have their own issues that people might not want to deal with. Like a lack of entertainment and other services.

That all depends on the kind of entertainment and services you want. If you want nightclubs and prostitutes, you need to go to a big city.

If you want freedom, clean air, nature, and the ability to own a home then you need to get out of the big city. For most general goods and services, you can order it online if you don't have it available. That's the same everywhere though.
