Do you live in a census block with an average of 200 houses per square mile? Then you're outside the urban area. 200 houses evenly spaced is 3.2 acre lots on average.

They also base it off of 50k or more people, so if your county has 50k or more you're considered urbanized. My county has 56k people and multiple areas of farmland that was converted into subdivisions. This has our area marked as urban. Most people around my state will call my county and location as rural, but the census bureau says we're urban.
