Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Delinquency rates are historically higher in areas that are characterized by poverty, crime, and limited opportunities for economic and social advancement. Urban areas are more likely to exhibit these traits, especially in neighborhoods with high levels of poverty and street crime. Rural areas, on the other hand, may have lower overall population densities and less exposure to city-style crime, but they still face high levels of poverty and limited economic growth.

The other two answer choices, C) rich urban areas and D) rich rural areas, are less likely to have high delinquency rates due to lower poverty levels and greater access to opportunities for education and economic advancement.
