My mom lives in a wealthy neighborhood, every Halloween they get absolutely slammed because the area around them is pretty rural so tons of kids come down to the rich area which is more dense to do trick-or-treating. She's got a good mentality about it (it's like $200 of candy extra that she has to get) but I've listened to her neighbors bitch about it when I've ended up invited to things, so this is real.
Choices: stay in your rural area with 2 neighbors, or go to the city/suburb that's 5 miles away and have an essentially limitless number of houses to go to so your kids don't feel left out the next day at school because all their friends went there too.
It's a pretty sensible decision for multiple reasons. Mainly about how a holiday about community and staying out late works better if you go somewhere with a larger community.
