Webinar: Federal Rural Definitions, January 22
In 2025, many agencies across the federal government released new data allowing users to understand how rural populations and areas are changing. This webinar will provide a brief history of rural population over time and review how the term “rural” is defined.
Presenters from the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) will focus on how FORHP compiles information from the Census Bureau, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Economic Research Services (ERS) to identify rural areas in the United States for rural health grant program eligibility. Changes to rural areas, as identified by FORHP with their most recent September 2025 data release, will be highlighted.
Cost: Free
When: Thursday, January 22, 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
