Colorado County Classifications
The Colorado Rural Health Center (CRHC) is an independent, nonprofit, membership-based organization that serves as the state office of rural health for Colorado. It offers programs and services to ensure that rural communities have access to adequate health care. CRHC uses the U.S. Census Bureau definitions to classify the counties in Colorado, defining "rural" as a community under 25,000 people which is not part of an urbanized area and "frontier" as six or fewer people per square mile. The map shows which counties are considered frontier, rural and urban under these guidelines.
