Summary

Each fiscal year, half of the money must be split equally among the States that qualify as rural. The other half is for nonmetropolitan areas in the remaining States: each nonrural State gets $250,000, and any money left after those payments is divided among those States based on each State’s share of the total population. Rural State — a State with 52 or fewer people per square mile, or a State whose largest county has fewer than 150,000 people, using the 1990 decennial census through fiscal year 1997.
