A small town that doesn't have that big city element, it can be suburbia, or is predominantly white, with low crime rates.
Mayberry was a fictional small town that was featured in "The Andy Griffith Show" where almost all the residents are white with little or no minorities.
Believe it or not, there were few blacks on the show, but they were mainly extras.

There was an African American actor by the name of Rockne Tarkington who made an appearance on the Andy Griffith Show episode titled "Opie's Piano Lesson" and he plays Flip Conroy.
There are a few examples of Mayberry cities as far as I know. You will find a number of them in New England, most towns in the Pacific Northwest and throughout the United States.
The Mayberries of California as far as I know are Lodi, Ripon, Escalon, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Tehachapi, Mojave, Needles, some cities in the San Joaquin Valley and much of the Sacramento Valley.

Manberger's applies to men who exhibit many of the symptoms of Asperger's, but do not actually fall on the Asperger's Spectrum. These men are often employed in fields like engineering and computer science, and cause many women eternal frustration.
Manberger's Syndrome symptoms include (but are not limited to): inability to understand how to comfort someone emotionally rather than just offering asinine "solutions" problems, difficulties expressing emotion other than anger, frustration, and neutral, difficulties expressing empathy, difficulties behaving considerately toward others, and obliviousness to the rich social and emotional subtleties and relational connections going on around them. These men might suggest that a woman marry them just for the health insurance (because obviously getting married is about nothing more than this) or say something like "It didn't occur to me to consider how you might feel if I ate all your leftovers."
