Learning Objective
I can compare and contrast the characteristics of urban, rural, and suburban communities.
- 1
An urban community is large and highly populated, with tall buildings and lots of traffic.
- 2
A suburban community is located near a city, has less traffic, and often features spacious homes with amenities like large backyards and garages.
- 3
A rural community has very few people and buildings and mainly consists of farmland, with houses spaced far apart.
