Which region was more rural

Question

Southern region
Middle region
New England region

Answer 1

The Southern region of the United States was historically more rural compared to the Middle Atlantic and New England regions. While all three regions include rural areas, the South is known for its vast agricultural landscapes and smaller towns. In contrast, the New England region and the Middle Atlantic region tend to have more urbanized areas and are generally more industrialized and densely populated. This pattern has persisted through much of U.S. history, although trends can vary depending on specific locations and changes over time.
