    Wikipedia defines it as:

    an area within a metropolitan area which is predominantly residential and within commuting distance of a large city.

    I’d say it’s a very fit definition of where I’m at. Most people commute to the metropolitan areas which are mostly manufacturing, and can reliably commute to the nearest city by car (though it can be an hour drive at some places). It’s mostly residential here, some woodland between communities but sometimes little woodland within them.

      I mean commuting could be anything between 5 minutes and 4 hours.

      Like walking distance. What does it mean???
