Without farther research, doesn't the Bronx also have one of the largest public libraries?
Maybe, like you said about the small towns, perhaps the Bronx doesn't have a reader population to sustain a bookstore because they are already being served by the institutions.
You are correct especially in the New England states on the book stores.
Alas in Texas, you have to go to a major city to find even Barnes & Noble.
I see you are in New England. I am in a region known as the Permian Basin.
The two areas have roughly the same land mass I think. The big difference is the towns are farther apart and not sure but many of our small towns are less than 1000 people.
Oh and we have no public transportation to speak of. At least not to go between the towns.

My town has 2100 people, up 600 from fifteen years ago. We even have a traffic light now and seven speed bumps.
No bookstore, but there is a library with ebooks.
