Rural definitions are used in a variety of formal settings, including federal and state statutes and policies. They are frequently used to focus attention and direct resources to underserved populations to help achieve goals of access to essential services, health equity, and reduction of disparities. Although there are a number of these definitions utilized by policies and programs, most rural definitions rely on a combination of population density and economic integration with (or proximity to) urbanized areas. But several important factors have changed during the last 10-20 years leading to discussions among policymakers and investigators about the validity of historic methods for defining rural areas. The definition of rural areas should be data-driven, built on a conceptual framework that is relevant to their purpose, robust over time but malleable as required, and exhibit face validity. A number of options to consider for adjustment of current or development of new definitions are made. These include enhancement of current frameworks, making greater use the variation already available in current definitions, utilization of additional data resources, and adjustment of census methods.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service (USDA/ERS) maintains four highly related but distinct geographic classification systems to designate areas by the degree to which they are rural. The original urban-rural code scheme was developed by the ERS in the 1970s. Rural America today is very different from the rural America of 1970 described in the first rural classification report. At that time migration to cities and poverty among the people left behind was a central concern. The more rural a residence, the more likely a person was to live in poverty, and this relationship held true regardless of age or race. Since the 1970s the interstate highway system was completed and broadband was developed. Services have become more consolidated into larger centers. Some of the traditional rural industries, farming and mining, have prospered, and there has been rural amenity-based in-migration. Many major structural and economic changes have occurred during this period. These factors have resulted in a quite different rural economy and society since 1970. In April 2015, the Committee on National Statistics convened a workshop to explore the data, estimation, and policy issues for rationalizing the multiple classifications of rural areas currently in use by the Economic Research Service (ERS). Participants aimed to help ERS make decisions regarding the generation of a county rural-urban scale for public use, taking into consideration the changed social and economic environment. This report summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

"Michael Woods has taken on the formidable task of giving an overview of rural places and society in advanced economies as a single author and has presented a book that rightly deserves to be called state-of-the-art." - Geographische Rundschau "For those students with an interest in rural change, this 'state of the art' book is essential reading." - Brian Ilbery, University of Coventry "With Rural Geography Michael Woods remedies the often underestimated dynamism of rural places and rural society by providing the much-needed synthesis of the European and North American literature on rural restructuring and globalization processes." - Patrick H. Mooney, University of Kentucky Rural Geography is an introduction to contemporary rural societies and economies in the developed world. It examines the social and economic processes at work in the contemporary countryside - including the more traditional: like agriculture; land use; and population; as well as wider themes like: rural health, crime, exclusion, commodification, and alternative lifestyles. With a contextualising section defining the rural, the text is organized systematically in three principal sections: Processes of Rural Restructuring, Responses to Rural Restructuring, and Experiences of Rural Restructuring. Using the most recent empirical material, statistical data, and research, the text is global in perspective using comparative examples throughout. Rural Geography is a systematic introduction to the processes, responses, and experiences of rural restructuring.

Clearly defining what rural means has tangible implications for public policies and practices in education, from establishing resource needs to achieving the goals of No Child Left Behind in rural areas. The word "rural" has many meanings. It has been defined in reference to population density, geographic features, and level of economic and industrial development. This report documents national and state definitions of rural and considers their application to education policies and practices. Defining rural accurately is especially important for addressing two kinds of education policy questions. One involves identifying the resources needs of rural populations and monitoring and evaluating effective use. Who receives resources and who does not? Another concerns whether rural schools are achieving the goals of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Are there obstacles related to being rural that make achieving the goals more difficult, and if so, what accommodations can be equitably made for rural schools to help them achieve the goals? Six definitions and classification systems for rural were identified through searches of major federal agency documents and databases. In order of use, beginning with the most common they are: (1) U.S. Census Bureau classifications, which define rural by geographic features, population, and as a residual; (2) Metropolitan status codes, which define rural relative to a core-based statistical area; (3) Urban-rural continuum codes, which define rural by population and proximity to urban areas; (4) Metro-centric locale codes, which are used primarily for statistical procedures; (5) Urban-centric locale codes, which improve the reliability and precision of locale code assignment; and (6) Core-based statistical areas, which are statistically defined geographic areas. Several issues need to be considered in applying definitions of rural to education policies and practices. One issue is the unit of analysis. The way rural is defined and specified (by school or district) is likely to yield different portrayals of rural students, which can affect education policies and practices. A second issue involves geographic and political differences among regions. What is considered rural in one part of the country may not be considered rural in another. Demographic changes in rural American are a third issue. Some communities are gaining population, while others are losing population. School districts experiencing growth are noting an increase in student diversity. Several questions arise from this study that warrant further investigation. Key terms is appended.
