Rural describes or relates to a farming or agricultural area. These areas are sometimes referred to as "the country". People who live "in the country" are defined as living in rural households, including sometimes small villages.

Rural is the opposite of urban, which means places such as cities where buildings and places where people work and live are all close together.
