They should be the same, because they provide the same value to the company.
Also, there are trade-offs to where one lives.
I probably don't need to list the up and downsides of urban living to this audience, but living in a rural area, you:
- Definitely can't get by without a vehicle, if you live some distance from a city
- Fuel for that vehicle
- Goods and services tend to cost more
- Less convenient access to museums, parks, gyms, etc.
- Often more money is needed to maintain real estate.
