When you live in a rural area, you're way more isolated. Remember when the lockdowns were finally over and you were happy to just be able to interact with people again, even if you were an introvert like me? It's kinda like that.

Also, door to door salesmen don't tend to go to rural areas.

Random people knocking on your door is in-person spam that is much more expensive for you to receive
