Yeah, the huge spaces actually cause lots of issues sometimes, things you wouldn't even think. For instance, large portions of the country are considered "food deserts", where it is so far in any direction to a supermarket or outlet, that food options are insanely limited. You can be in the middle of farm country and never see fresh produce.

Perhaps a stupid question, but I recently got my PhD and am moving to Austin to work as an evolutionary biologist at UTA. Is my occupation something I should better not mention to potential landlords and generic americans if asked what I do? What about outside of Austin? Will I be Hills Have Eyed there?

Austin is an enclave of education, culture, and tolerance in the sea of poo poo that is Texas. You should be fine.
