It's an aspirational thing for people who mentally conflate cities and ghettos. A lot of people don't seem to know that the real rural areas are usually (though not always) depressed armpits as well. At least in my part of the world, builders and realtors market the hell out of new subdivisions as "Country Living!" And with the way things are built today, it's less about suburban v rural than proximity to an interstate on/off ramp. Areas that are far away from anything but the off ramp always get built up first with these silly properties. And then we have to build more interstates with more exits to accomidate these people. The I-40 corridor in eastern Shelby County is such a senseless disaster. Everything about it is so outlandishly wasteful.  And FWIW, calling anything outside of downtown in Memphis "urban" (outside of the black people connotation) is just as equally absurd.

I would need a regional example to understand this poll.
Something like this:
