List of Rural Counties And
Designated Eligible Census Tracts in Metropolitan Counties
Updated Census 2010
The Office of Rural Health Policy uses two methods to determine geographic eligibility for its grant programs. As in prior years, all counties that are not designated as parts of Metropolitan Areas (MAs) by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) are considered rural. Any county that is not a part of a Metropolitan Area is considered rural. Counties classified as Micropolitan are non-Metropolitan. The current list of MAs, issued in 2013, and updates are available on the Internet at
Due to the fact that entire counties are designated as Metropolitan when, in fact, large parts of many counties may be rural in nature, the Office of Rural Health Policy has sought an alternative method of looking at sub-county sections of these Metropolitan counties that would allow sections to be designated rural. The Goldsmith modification was originally developed and used to identify rural Census tracts in large Metropolitan counties.
The Office of Rural Health Policy has funded the development of the Rural Urban Commuting Area Codes (RUCAs) to designate "Rural" areas within MAs. Census tracts with RUCA codes 4 through 10 are considered rural for the purposes of Rural Health grants. While use of the RUCA codes has allowed identification of rural census tracts in Metropolitan counties, among the more than 60,000 tracts in the U.S. there are some that are extremely large and where use of RUCA codes alone fails to account for distance to services and sparse population. In response to these concerns, ORHP has also designated as rural census tracts with RUCA codes 2 or 3 that are at least 400 square miles in area with a population density of no more than 35 people. More information on RUCAs is available at
To determine whether a county or a particular address is designated rural, visit the webpage Rural Health Grants Eligibility Advisor.
The attached list is in two Sections. The Territories of the United States are included in these lists.
Section I is a list of non-Metro counties arranged by State. The entire area of these counties is considered rural.
Section II is a list of Metropolitan counties in which we have identified certain Census Tracts that are considered rural. Only the area of the identified tracts is considered rural in those Metropolitan counties.
Please check the lists carefully. For further information, contact the Office of Rural Health Policy at (301) 443-0835.
