IP PHOTOS/Connie Brown Pandemic makes more people long for the rural life The Rural Blog File under silver linings: according to a new Har- ris poll, the covid-19 pandemic has made many Ameri- cans want to leave the cities for (literally) greener pas- tures. Three in eight Americans surveyed (37 percent) said the pandemic makes them want to live in a rural area more than 21 miles away from a major city or a suburb within 10 miles of a major city (35%). Older Americans are more likely than younger ones to have such a wish, with 44% of Baby Boomers saying they want to move to the country, compared to 34% of Millennials and 31% of Gen Xers. Overall, 28% of urban residents surveyed and 25% of suburban residents said the pandemic makes them want to live in a rural area. The urge to flee the cities during the pandemic isn't new; some small towns, fearing the spread of the virus, have asked people with summer homes to stay away.
