    Every country I look up has at least 15% of their population loving in rural areas.

    Yes this means that ~20% of most countries live outside low density towns or high density cities.

          So you’re saying the US has enough farmhouses in the middle of nowhere away from any settlement for about 70 million people? That is definitely not the case for Europe at least.

          Also that’s still cheaper than maintenance for roads.
