[Children Of Men] What is life like in "middle of nowhere" USA?

We get some hints as to how some of the major US cities are doing (Spoilers: Not very well), but what about smaller towns?

Is Everytown, USA, where everyone knows everyone and nothing is worth nuking doing relatively okay, or is it just as chaotic as the bigger cities?

Severely depopulated.  Lawlessness abounds, though more in the sense that no one cares what you're doing and not that you're at risk of getting massacred by roving gangs.  Those exist, of course, but the societal depression that's occurred has manifested more as nihilism than rage.  

Unstable and violent individuals have mostly moved on or already gotten themselves killed.  A combination of formal municipal organizations and informal cliques of individuals who can get things done provides the backbone for most communities.   Nature has begun to reclaim many areas as the population dwindles.
