Presidential candidates are normally in their fifties and thus born around 1920 when almost half the population lived in communities of under 2,500. TIME'S definition of a small town is unclear, but if Grand Rapids (100,000-plus in 1920) needs only a little imagination to qualify, then over three-fourths of the population was born in small towns...
