E-Rate Central News Archives How to Find Urban or Rural Status – Location is important for your discount percent. An individual school or library is designated as “urban” or “rural” based on the census block it is located in, the urban area it is located in, and the urban area population. If the urban area has a population of 25,000 or more, it is determined to be “urban” for the E-Rate program. More information on urban/rural status can by found here. The Universal Services Weekly News Brief has a variety of announcements, updates, and training opportunities. For the latest news, visit the site regularly. |
