Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
The most commonly used definitions of rural come from two federal agencies: the U.S. Bureau of the Census and the White House Office of Management and Budget. The White House Office of Management and Budget definition has been widely used for health planning and policy because it is based on whole counties, and most of our public health data are available at the county level. The OMB approach is primarily concerned with identifying metropolitan areas (sometimes referred to as metropolitan statistical areas), which consist of one or more urban core counties and the surrounding counties that are economically tied to the core.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
When these census blocks are combined with adjacent blocks so as to encompass a population of at least 50,000 people, it is called an urbanized area. The Census Bureau also identifies urban clusters as places that meet the population density threshold and have at least 2,500 people but are not adjacent to an urbanized area. Many small rural towns are considered urban clusters by this definition, and as a result, few federal programs that are intended to assist rural populations rely on this definition.
