Homelessness exists in rural, as in urban areas:

The factors that cause homelessness and rough sleeping in urban areas also operate in rural areas - young people leaving home, relationships breaking down, lack of jobs and income, domestic violence, leaving prison/care/hospital and lack of affordable accommodation. UK homelessness statistics support this similarity, however several differences are noted. Firstly that there was a higher, proportional increase in homelessness in rural areas through the 1980’s. Secondly, that as causes for homelessness, mortgage arrears and evictions from rented and tied accommodation are more often found in rural areas than urban, and that fewer people are ‘homeless from hostels’.
