The hustle and bustle of large cities can quickly become overwhelming with time.

According to a study from IPSOS, which focuses on consumer behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic, almost 1/3 of Americans, or 31%, said they prefer living in the suburbs.

That is compared to about 16% who prefer urban areas and 24% who favor rural communities.

Small towns can have some struggles, such as the lack of restaurants and amenities.

But one thing is for sure: the slower pace of life is welcomed by many!
