Does rural America have more defectives than urban areas?
I ask because there is more inbreeding that takes place out in the country. People in isolated population groups don’t know as many people and out in the sticks you may have to drive around more to meet people.
Inbred people are smaller and less intelligent, on average. Have you seen people stutter more out in the country? This is one flaw which can arise from inbreeding.
The country inbreeds are mostly just fictional stories. Though, it does happen. Just not as bad as people make it out to be.
I went to a small school in a small town and believe me when I say that we are anything but small. Most people in my class were above 6 foot tall. Though, I was only 5’10”. I was actually pretty small compared to most. It sucked.
We were also a fairly intelligent class. At least half of us graduated with 7 science, 6 math and 3 foreign language credits. We considered you an idiot if you didn’t take Spanish and French and make it to pre-cal before graduation.
So, you are just following stereotypes. I don’t know the statistics but there were no inbreeds in my community, as far as I know, and we were all pretty decent when it came to intelligence and size.

Well, inbreeding is probably less rampant than pollution is, so I’d say that city-folk probably have more defective births.
