I certainly wouldn't consider it rural. What I was saying is that by the census criteria for determining urban versus rural areas (criteria I disagree with), that yes, conceivably a large business district with little or no permanent population could qualify under rural population criteria.

when i lived in Dallas, there were essentially NO residents of most of the downtown area. apart from the hotels, after midnight, it was essentially DESERTED.

no matter what the formula, "BIG D" isn't a rural area by any criteria, that makes COMMON SENSE!
