Are you asking for data on whether intolerance ore pejudice _exists_ in small towns in the US?
Well, I would have assumed that was well understood, but you know what? Here's some data that shows that rural communities do, in fact, have measurably higher prejudice against others (In this specific case, hispanic immigrants): https://www.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:1409896/FULLTEXT01.pdf https://www.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:1409896/FULLTEXT...
And here's a study demonstrating that outgroup identity, particularly in rural communities, can lead to worse outcomes including worse allocations of scarce resources: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11109-021-09680-3#Sec6 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11109-021-09680-3...
If you want more data, there's plenty of research out there.
