The Census Bureau and the White House's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) have been releasing new data from the 2020 Census this year that will affect how federal resources are directed to rural areas in the United States.
Both the Census and OMB made adjustments to their criteria prior to the release of the Census 2020 data. The Census Bureau made the most significant changes to how they define urban and rural areas in over a century.
This webinar will review how rurality is defined by the federal government, what changes in these definitions were made recently, and how this may affect rural areas eligibility for federal funding.
This webinar is free. High-speed internet is required to participate. A recording will be available on our website after the live event. Connection details will be emailed to you immediately upon registration.
