5 Proven Benefits of Country Living

Science shows that living in the country is beneficial in many respects.

Residents in rural areas are less likely to be victims of a wide range of crimes versus those who live in the city or suburbs. Part of the reason for this is just there are fewer people in the country, thus less opportunity for crime to occur. There’s also a higher percentage of police officers per capita. Crime can happen anywhere, and the country certainly isn’t guaranteed to be completely free of it. Still, if you're looking to live somewhere where you can feel more comfortable letting your kids ride their bikes alone to school or leaving your windows open for a cool breeze while you sleep, statistically the country is going to be your best bet.
