About Ruralwise

Ruralwise is a community-matching platform that helps people find rural places they didn't know existed but would love to live in and thrive. It uses a research-informed matching engine to connect prospective movers with rural communities that fit their lifestyle, values, and priorities — not just their income or remote-work status.

Ruralwise is a project of Pragmatic Public Management Consulting, LLC, informed by research funded by the Center for Rural Pennsylvania. Our mission is to strengthen rural communities by connecting them with people who belong there.
