Everything away from Omaha and Lincoln metro areas is pretty much "very rural" with a scattering of occasional 10-20K population cities, but even more common is 5K or less population cities. Distance between any city or village starts to increase in western 1/2 of the state.
There is still one incorporated village near northern border with a population of one. Used to be population of two until the husband passed away.
That is rural, for sure.
I did some business recently with a guy that travels a lot. He was doing some business in Goldsboro, the town south of my home town. I asked him how business there went. Among other things, he said "it's a small town, like any other". I laughed & told him Goldsboro was not a small town. Told him to ride through my town & the others nearby to see a small town. All relative to where one grew up. A New Yorker would think our biggest cities in NC are small towns. A rural person here often thinks our cities are crowded and noisy. He'd really feel swallowed in New York or Chicago.
