What is the name of the rural town where Judy Hopps grew up?

The story behind the answer

Judy Hopps grew up in the rural town of Bunnyburrow.

Bunnyburrow is a farming community outside the metropolitan world of Zootopia. Judy is raised there by her parents, Bonnie and Stu Hopps, who operate a carrot farm. From childhood, she dreams of leaving the countryside and becoming a police officer, despite widespread doubts that a small rabbit can succeed in law enforcement.

Her upbringing shapes several parts of the story. Bunnyburrow represents Judy’s close-knit rural home, while Zootopia represents the enormous, highly specialized city she hopes will offer opportunity to every mammal. After Judy resigns from the police department, she returns to Bunnyburrow and helps at her parents’ vegetable stand.

Bunnyburrow is not one of Zootopia’s urban districts. Tundratown and Little Rodentia are neighborhoods within the city, while Savanna Central is another city area. Bunnyburrow is Judy’s hometown and the place where she learns that Night Howlers are flowers.
