I really wonder about some people, and exactly where they’re finding these areas.

I suspect it’s mainly people near the high desert in the West where you can go 90 miles between gas stations.

I would consider where I am to be the edge of rural and even if I go deeper into it there are still grocery stores and hospitals.

An overlay for Google maps showing the 30 minute boundaries would be nice.

Rural hospitals have been shut down quite a bit in the last 20 or so years.
