In a small American town you're also likely not within walking distance of useful businesses. In my suburban hometown, the nearest grocery store or other stores are 2.5 miles away along a state highway with no sidewalks. Newer communities with more housing developments are even worse for walking. It's no surprise that Americans outside of dense urban areas don't consider walking a viable means of transportation.
