 |  | * The terms “rural” and “urban” here refer to data for nonmetro and metro areas, a county-level classification defined by the Office of Management and Budget. We use the February 2013 version of nonmetro and metro areas, unless otherwise noted, because it reflects conditions at the beginning of the decade. See What is Rural? for a discussion of differences between metro-nonmetro categories and the Census Bureau’s rural-urban classification.
