What is the difference between a rural and an urban location ?
DEFRA states that towns of less than 25,000 residents are considered to be rural. However, the Scottish Executive bases its definition of rural on driving times. That is, accessible rural areas are settlements of less than 3,000 within a 30- minute drive from a settlement of 10,000. Remote rural areas are defined as settlements of less than 3,000 and more than a 30 minute drive from a settlement of 10,000 or more.
Wonderful thing knowledge !
