Yeah it really depends on a lot of factors, exactly what your city / suburb is like, and the nature of the crisis.
After a week or so of supply problems, a major city would be bereft of food. Unless everyone is dead, there would be a lot of desperate, nutty people.
On the other hand, as someone who lives in the country, the easy food here would get low to the ground real fucking quick even with just the local population. Like I can catch a feed of fish, trap rabbits, or even shoot a kangaroo, but these food sources would disappear in my area with even just a dozen people actively harvesting them.
I think that if I'm going to be hungry, I would definitely prefer to be so in the country just because at least you can get away from other people.
