Your small town is very friendly and laid back with you because you're a local. They've all known you for years or even most of your life, you didn't say if you were born there or not. The locals of your town I'm sure would probably become less laid back and more on edge if they see an outsider. I don't think that small towners are really doing anything wrong being like that, it's hard to feel comfortable with an outsider stepping onto your turf in today's crazy world. 50 or 100 years ago, small town locals would've likely been much friendlier and at ease with an outsider than today. The world has changed, and most people everywhere are aware of that.
I moved to my town when I was three. There are actually quite a few people who move here as there is a university not far away and it is in a good school district. We are in the south so hospitality is generally expected, although of course a stranger is not treated the same way a close friend would be (just like anywhere else).
Yes, your town being in the South is part of the reason for the friendliness. Kansas towns got no Southern hospitality, they got no any kind of hospitality.
