A new report from the Carsey Institute at the University of New Hampshire finds a rural America far more varied, nuanced and distinct than ever thought. It surveyed 8,000 Americans from 19 rural counties including Coos in New Hampshire and Oxford in Northern Maine. The survey found four distinct rural areas that were defined not by geography but by a complex picture of the economics, demographics, politics and values of the people. Today we talk to the report's authors about their findings on rural America and what it might mean for the Granite State.
