Learning Objective

I can compare and contrast the characteristics of urban, rural, and suburban communities.

  • 1

    A community is a place where a group of people live, work, and play together.

  • 2

    Urban communities have a large population, many buildings, and many streets, while rural communities have fewer people and more open space.

  • 3

    Suburban communities are located outside of cities and have fewer people than urban communities but more than rural communities.
