What is Rural? | National Agricultural Library Ideas and definitions relating to the term rural are diverse. The Census Bureau defines rural as any population, housing, or territory not in an urban area.
This definition is closely tied to its urban definition, of which there are two geographical types: "Urbanized Areas" have a population of 50,000 or more. "Urban Clusters" have a population between 2,500 and 50,000. The federal government classifies areas and population for statistical, programming, and funding purposes.
When applying for grants and funding, or conducting research, one should refer to the rural definition provided by the offering agency or organization. (Image: Unknown. “ Resting at Laguna Beach, Cal.
