Eugene would be the largest city in Montana, ND, SD or Wyoming, for example. What constitutes a "large" city is largely shaped by perspective. Corvallis would likewise be one of the larger cities in most "fly-over" states.

(Next house miles away) In other words, small town or city, neither is what I would describe as "rural". What the study defines as rural would probably cover a lot of small towns I suspect so who really knows.
