Rural, Suburban, and Urban Daily Life

Identify characteristics of rural, suburban, and urban communities in this second- and third-grade worksheet! After reviewing a brief definition of each type of community, students will read 10 short descriptive statements. They will determine whether each scenario is most likely to happen in a rural, suburban, or urban community.

This worksheet will reinforce the differences between these three types of communities, such as population density, public transportation, and infrastructure. As students consider each characteristic, they can build community awareness and be encouraged to reflect on the type of community they live in.
