'''Rural area'''

A '''[[Rural area]]''' is a geographic area that is located outside towns and cities. The [[Health Resources and Services Administration]] of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services defines the word "rural" as encompassing "...all population, housing, and territory not included within an urban area. Whatever is not urban is considered rural."

== Characteristics ==

Rural areas are characterized by their low population density and small settlements. Agricultural areas are commonly rural, as are other types of areas such as forest. Different countries have varying definitions of "rural" for statistical and administrative purposes.

== Rural economy ==

The [[Rural economy|economy]] of rural areas is traditionally based on [[agriculture]]. However, in more developed countries, this is changing rapidly as more diverse industries take root in these areas.

== Rural health ==

[[Rural health]] incorporates many fields, including geography, midwifery, nursing, sociology, economics, and telehealth or telemedicine. Research shows that healthcare needs in rural areas are different from those in urban areas, and rural areas often suffer from a lack of healthcare access.

== Rural development ==

[[Rural development]] generally refers to the process of improving the quality of life and economic well-being of people living in rural areas, often relatively isolated and sparsely populated areas.
