Wrong. Individually Urban neighborhoods were about 100M. See what you have done is combined urban and suburban populations like it's a political map. But the suburban population of the US is 175M with rural adding 46M.
So no, most of the US, does not experience this nor do they live in a city. They probably live near a city.
Suburbs are a part of a city.
Look even expanding your scope here, only 40% of them live in early suburbs vs late and exurb. And only the early suburbs from the top 6 metropolis. The vast majority of small metropolis early suburbs look nothing like this.

Looking at counties instead of actual cities is your problem.
