The current definition states, For essential community facilities, the terms rural and rural area will not include any area in any city or town with a population in excess of 20,000 inhabitants, according to the latest decennial Census of the United States. In accordance with the 2008 Farm Bill definition, the proposed new definition will state, The terms rural and rural area mean any area other than a city, town, or unincorporated area that has a population of greater than 20,000. | |
