I just want to point out that the US government has a very specific definition of rural the cut off is 5k people which is much much lower than your thresholds which seem to be supporting smaller urban areas rather than what the government considers rural. Example: here is a map of urban regions in the US and I am from Ohio and basically every town with more than 1 store and gas station is an urban area. https://www2.census.gov/geo/maps/DC2020/UA20/UA_2020_WallMap.pdf https://www2.census.gov/geo/maps/DC2020/UA20/UA_2020_WallMap...
