We define “rural”—and we use Statistics Canada data—as populations that are fewer than 30,000 people. Our maps highlight the communities that are eligible. Most of those communities are far smaller than that. They're actually about 100 or 150, and some are fewer than 100, but the definition itself that we use to calculate which communities would be eligible is a population of 30,000.
