Rural areas in general suck ass. I don't know much about the cities out there, but the isolated small towns are almost certainly shit, by metric of being isolated small towns.

There are shitty small towns/rural areas in all 50 states

There are, but the midwest has less cities to break it up. And small towns are fine if you can quickly get to a decent city.

The south is worse.

I've lived here all my life. The politics sux. But other than that it's ok. Not sure the beef with small towns. No traffic or crime. Being able to see the stars at night. It's a pretty chill life.

I like how it's one of the three settings that make up like 90% of movies set in the US:

NYC
California
That one suburb in Ohio

Yep, I live in one on the east coast. Everyone white is assumed to be a Trumper or some form of bigot when they start rambling about it.

I've lived in the American midwest my entire life, and the best thing I can say about it is that I'm still alive.

False. There's far more meth an fentanyl per capita in small towns, and violence associated.

the geography creeps me out more than the desert states. too flat. I grew up in the mountains and flatness is unnerving to me.

Lived in the Midwest my entire life. There are shitty parts, but great parts as well.

As for what makes up the Midwest, go with the census definition as the broadest one.

But the circled ones are really Great Plains states, not Midwestern states, imho.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

This is wrong on it's face but I suppose easily Googleable results are worth sharing
https://usafacts.org/articles/where-are-crime-victimization-rates-higher-urban-rural-areas/
https://www.ruralhealthinfo.org/topics/substance-use

So even if we round favorably to support your position, drug use is largely equivalent in rural and urban settings but that only reflects in a higher rate of violent crime in urban settings.

Anecdotally, the meth heads in rural areas at least have a place to lay their head at night bc they're still buds with people they went to school with. In urban areas these people are much more desperate which results in their criminal behaviors
