I own a number of acres. One neighbor has an orchard and a horse pasture. Another has a Christmas tree farm. We're adjacent to a fairly large conservation property. We're urban according to the US Census. And we certainly have no practical way to shop by either walking or public transportation.

The census basically calls it urban if you have a sewer not a septic heh.

Most people consider “small town” to be rural though it’s technically not as it’s a city.

I don’t even have sewer. Though I do have town water.
Knew someone who had city sewer but was on a well. Caused an interesting billing problem for the city, since they usually bill for sewer as part of water.
