Suburban Community

A suburban community is a

medium-sized community, usually

located near a large city. Houses are

close together. You may nd malls for

shopping.

There are fewer people in a suburban

community. Many people need to drive

or take a bus or train to their work, to

shops, or to school. Buildings are not as

tall. There are more parks and natural

areas for people to enjoy.

Rural Community

In a rural community, houses are far apart.

In rural communities, people do not live

close together. Buildings are spread out

over large distances. A rural community

has lots of open space and natural areas

for farms and forests. You may see animals

like cows, horses, sheep, and goats in

elds.
