At the very least, I found the definition of Rural to be interesting.
RURAL AREA- The term `rural area' means any census tract which--
(A) is not within 10 miles of any incorporated or census designated place containing more than 25,000 people, and
(B) is not within a county or county equivalent which has an overall population density of more than 500 people per square mile of land.
