Community cohesion refers to the strength of relationships and solidarity among community members. In everyday life, it's about community members having a sense of trust and belonging and believing that neighbors will show up for one another. This study asked rural Americans how they experience their communities across seven different dimensions of cohesion, including feelings of support and connection and openness to diverse perspectives. Based on their answers, rural Americans were grouped into three categories: low (20%), moderate (63%) or high (17%) sense of community cohesion. Overall, most rural Americans report strong feelings of support (82%) and pride (81%) in their communities. About two-thirds also feel emotionally connected (68%), able to collaborate with others (67%), free to express their opinions (65%) and valued (65%).
Interesting stuff, considering that rural America can be ultraMAGA or communal-living freaks or both ...
But mostly I'm trolling the DR's haters of sociology.
