There are some suburban areas in the US where there are descendants of rednecks. Simi Valley, California comes to mind. Geographically, they are indeed suburbs, but from a socio-linguistic perspective, many of the inhabitants fall into a category we call "hilljacks" (no relation to Badjack).
I actually have a lot of Hilljacks in my family on my dad's side. They are the urban and suburban cousins to hillbillies. Hilljacks fancy themselves more sophisticated than hillbillies but they share most of the hillbilly's vocabulary and pronunciation. Hilljack communities are easily recognized by the following:
Chairs and sofas on the front porch
Broken appliances on the front porch
Cars parked in the front yard
Broken chain link fence surrounding the property
Engine parts in the driveway
An abundance of bars (the pub kind, not the jail kind) in the neighborhood blaring our Hank Williams
Pickup trucks, mostly adorned with a rust-motif
Local convenience stores sell only generic beer and Pabst Blue Ribbon
Total absence of diet drinks on sale at local convenience stores
Tall grass in front yard
"Deferred Maintenance" approach to housing... houses not painted in 40 years.
Discharging of firearms, usually from back porch. (hey billybob, let's go set out back and shoot some stuff"
Linguistically, the inhabitants may speak with a West Virginia, Kentucky or Oklahoma accent.
Adherence to grammar rules is deemed effeminate.
Speech example:
"We was watchin' the youngins play in the strait and ah seen billybob eatin' pork rinds and Ho-Hos off yonder in his front yord while 'ees daddy was workin' away on that old Shivvy they got porked in the yord." Ah like d'eat pork them pork rinds too, sometahms."
Translation:
"We were watching the children play in the street and I notcied that my neighbor, Mr. William Robert was eating a certain porcine food-like product while his father worked diligently to make repairs on a Chevrolet automobile that was parked in front of his domicile. I also enjoy eating products made from pigs from time to time."
