If you get far enough out of the metro areas (cities and burbs) and get out into the ex-burbs, and more rural area in just about any state this is true. Even states like CA and NY. Look at the elections maps. Once you get away from the metros, the counties are all RED.
We have a huge Urban/Semi Rural, Rural divide in this country, and it is getting worse because more people are urbanizing for education and jobs. I hope the work from home trend continues as technology is enabling it more and more. That way people could live anywhere they wanted and not have to be within driving distance of a big metro.
I live 30 miles north of Milwaukee; one of the poorest, most violent, racially segregated, liberal cities in the country. The county I live in is very conservative, relatively free from major crimes (unless it is a Milwaukee transplant causing problems), and is the richest county in Wisconsin. Coincidence? I think not.
