rural area:

... a non-urban area; a countryside; a piece of sparsely settled geography with open land; a region of low population density that may be a mix of open countryside, wetlands, agricultural and forest settings as well as towns, villages and/or crossroads; a place for rural economic development.

A rural region may may surrounds or spreads out from an urban area. See the definition of micropolitan ... description of an urban setting that has rural features or characteristics. A micropolitan area qualifies as a city-regiion—an expression used by The Network in conjunction with the organization of resource files for enterprise and economic development in the Site Selection Directoy. Any rural area city, town or other community with a name that can be found in an atlas or on a standard map, and having a location data supplier available at the local, regional or national level qualifies to be listed in the Global Registry of Contacts.
