	RUPRI - Rural Policy Context, Metro and Non-Metro Counties (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Office of Management and Budget defines counties located inside a Metropolitan Area as "metropolitan" counties, and counties outside a Metropolitan Area are considered "non-metropolitan." "Non-metropolitan" counties are considered "rural" counties.
		An outlying county must have a specified level of commuting to the central counties and also must meet certain standards regarding metropolitan character, such as population density, urban population, and population growth.
		The designation of "metropolitan" and "non-metropolitan" at the county level is problematic, because this does not reflect the diversity within the county (especially for counties that cover larger geographic areas).
