For professionals, you need the county in which the professional works (meaning provides services). For professionals, you need the county in which the professional works (meaning provides services). Using county information, determine the Rural Urban Continuum Code (RUCC) for that county. Using county information, determine the Rural Urban Continuum Code (RUCC) for that county. The OMB metro and nonmetro categories are divided into three metro and six nonmetro categories, for 9 RUCCs The OMB metro and nonmetro categories are divided into three metro and six nonmetro categories, for 9 RUCCs

O S E R S 8 General: Geographic Distribution 1 - Counties in metro areas of one million population or more 2 - Counties in metro areas of 250,000 to one million population 3 - Counties in metro areas of fewer than 250,000 population 4 - Urban population of 20,000 or more, adjacent to a metro area 5 - Urban population of 20,000 or more, not adjacent to a metro area 6 - Urban population of 2,500 to 19,999, adjacent to a metro area 7 - Urban population of 2,500 to 19,999, not adjacent to a metro area 8 - Completely rural or less than 2,500 urban population, adjacent to a metro area 9 - Completely rural or less than 2,500 urban population, not adjacent to a metro area

O S E R S 9 General: Geographic Distribution To simplify this, data collection codes are combined into three levels: Codes 1-3 are considered “metro” Codes 1-3 are considered “metro” Codes 4-7 are considered “urban” Codes 4-7 are considered “urban” Codes 8-9 are considered “rural” Codes 8-9 are considered “rural” Categorize individuals into one of these three levels based on the RUCC for their county. Tally how many individuals fall into each level of RUCC and provide the final number.
