'ello gents!
for those whose interests are within astronomy and those without just as well: do you find yourself more interested in astronomy, and you are from a rural area where the stars are visible in the evening, and vice versa being from a more urban area you have less of an interest in astronomy?

Depending on the day of the week, I live in a city, or in the countryside. All in all, I like to see the night sky clearly.

I lived in the country and I have an appreciation for stars that none of my other friends that lived in the city seemed to have

I'm interested in astronomy and I've lived in rural areas my entire life, but I don't really go outside much so I don't think it really matters. Though there isn't much better than a crisp fall night on a new moon.

thats the sort of answer i'm looking for. i've been drinking a bit, visiting family in the sticks, where i grew up and wondered if more astronomers tend to come from rural areas. would make sense, id think.
