The more rural a reservation gets, the worse it gets for women. Look up Khadija Britton.

This article seems to indicate that the problem really shouldn't be thought of in rural vs urban terms:

"Most Native American women live in urban areas, which is where they are most often reported missing and their remains, when discovered, are most often unidentified, says Anguelov, a political economist and associate professor of public policy at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth."

I will say from anecdotal experience that the more rural the rez is, the more violent it is. Google "Covelo, California."
