service area rather than specific
addresses of providers.
Response: The purpose of FORHP’s
rural definition is to delineate the land
area of the United States as rural or nonrural. The areas identified as rural by
this definition may include both service
areas and specific provider addresses.
After consideration of the public
comments received, HRSA is
implementing the rugged terrain
inclusion in the definition of rural area
as proposed. FORHP is making this
change consistent with its program
authority to award grants to support
rural health and rural health care
services.
Updated Definition of Rural Area
HRSA is updating FORHP’s rural
definition to include geographic areas
meeting any one of the following
criteria:
(1) Non-metropolitan counties
(2) Outlying metropolitan counties with
no population from an urban area of
50,000 or more people
(3) Census tracts with RUCA codes 4–
10 in metropolitan counties
(4) Census tracts of at least 400 square
miles in area with population density
of 35 or less per square mile with
RUCA codes 2–3 in metropolitan
counties
(5) Census tracts with RRS 5 and RUCA
codes 2–3 that are at least 20 square
miles in area in metropolitan counties
The changes will go into effect as of
November 21, 2024. These changes will
apply to FORHP’s Notices of Funding
Opportunity for FY 2025 and future
years for programs that require funded
activities and services be provided in
rural areas, as defined by HRSA. FORHP
will ensure information about the
updated rural definition is available to
the public on the HRSA website and in
funding opportunities. These changes
reflect FORHP’s desire to accurately
identify rural areas using a data-driven
methodology that relies on established
geographic identifiers and standard,
national-level data sources.

Impact
Incorporating rugged terrain data into
the definition of rural area using the
adopted method adds 84 census tracts
and approximately 305,000 people to
the 60.8 million people living in
FORHP-designated rural areas. This is
an increase of 0.5 percent in the total
number of people living in rural areas.

census tracts by state.
