Although there are numerous definitions for the term rural, most often, rural encompasses the geographic and population particulars not accounted for when defining urban (U.S. Census Bureau, 2012). Rural areas are located outside of urbanized areas and clusters (U.S. Census Bureau, para. 1) and typically have a population size of 2,500 or fewer people (U.S. Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service, 2013, para. 2). Frontier areas, a type of rural area, are “the most remote and geographically isolated areas in the United States…usually sparsely populated and in addition to extreme weather, they often face extreme distances and travel time to services of any kind” (National Center for Frontier Communities, 2012, para. 1). The resources listed below can help determine if one’s geographic residence is considered rural.
