Answer:
any population, housing, or territory NOT in an urban area"
Step-by-step explanation:
The Census Bureau defines rural as "any population, housing, or territory NOT in an urban area". Its definition of rural is closely tied to its urban definition. ... "Urbanized Areas" - population of 50,000 or more "Urban Clusters" - population of at least 2,500 and less than 50,000. "Nonmetro" does not mean rural.
