36. I think it's pretty common in rural and suburban areas.

About 65% of all white evangelical Christians live in rural or suburban areas. That percentage is even more glaring when you consider the much lower population densities in those areas.

Per the 2010 census, over 80% of the population lives in urban areas! Only about 10% of urbanites identify as evangelical.

According to CNN exit polling, Trump won the white evangelical vote, 80% to 16%, in 2016. And they were 26% of ALL voters. Without them, Clinton won the white-vote too.
