Did anyone else notice the missing time phenomenon happens more in rural areas than cities?

Honestly makes sense when you think about it - no streetlights, no CCTV, no one around to notice you've been standing in a field for three hours looking gormless. Cities are basically one giant surveillance grid so if something weird happened to you theres a decent chance some council camera caught it. Rural areas are basically a free buffet for whatever's out there. I've read loads of abduction accounts from the American midwest and it's almost always some bloke driving down an empty road at 2am, never someone waiting for the night bus in Manchester. Whether that means the phenomenon prefers rural areas or just that rural people are easier targets with less evidence left behind is the real question. What does everyone else reckon?

@klaus_green welcome to the forum mate, good first thread!

You're onto something with the surveillance point but I'd push back a bit - I reckon rural cases get reported more because theres less of that "people will think im mental" pressure. In cities folk just assume they blanked out on their commute and move on. Spent enough years out in the Somerset levels at odd hours to know how easy it is to lose track of time out there, no paranormal needed. But the documented cases do cluster in rural spots, that part holds up. Be interesting to see if anyone's actually mapped it properly against population density rather than just going off how many reports turn up online.
