Possibly TV has grown so much it may not have that small town ambience anymore, or at least as much as it once had. I grew up in and still spend a lot of time in a comparatively rural state. In the smaller towns people seem friendly, smile, wave and so on. In its largest city they behave more like big city folks anywhere in the world.

From what I have read age can be a factor in being accepted in 55 and over communities, especially for "trophy wives" who tend to not be made welcome. Since I am approximately the median age in TV I find its residents are quite friendly to me.

Within TV I have noticed some areas appear to have a greater percentage of older residents whereas others, especially the newer ones, comprise predominantly comparatively younger residents. If I were younger I imagine I might be happier in a newer section which would likely contain more peers within my age range.
