I feel like 50k is quite large for a “rural” area. The places I’ve lived in or visited with that population felt very (sub)urban.

- boomboomsubban 3y agoThe cutoff for "rural" in America is ~25,000 I believe, but there's more too it than that. A town of 50,000 that is the center of its own micropolitan area is far more rural than a town of 25,000 an hour outside of a metropolis.
- bombcar 3y agoRural/city is more of a feeling than a numbers game. I put the dividing line somewhere around “where do the people who live there work” and if the answer is “the nearby big city” it is a suburb or exurb. Still can be quite nice, of course.
