No, natural gas is not ubiquitous. Maybe within certain urban and suburban areas, but once you get a little rural you are out of luck.

Then again, a lot of people don’t realize cable internet isn’t a given, even within 15 minutes of the capital city of a state in the contiguous United States. They also don’t have natural gas available. :-)

Water and sewer too.

Copper telephone and electricity are the only two utilities you can count on in the most rural 10% of America.
