I am trying to develop criteria that can be used to say distinguish a =
rural Zip Code or census tract from an urban one. There is such an item =
on the census data, but it is not clear how it was determined. Also =
likely demographers and sociologists, geographers have different =
definitions. This will be used in a public health assessment project. =
Any ideas? Sources?=20

Thanks
