Rural-Urban Commuting Area Codes
The rural-urban commuting area codes (RUCA) classify U.S. census tracts using measures of urbanization, population density, and daily commuting. The latest RUCA codes are based on data from the 2010 decennial census and the 2006–10 American Community Survey. A ZIP code equivalent file for the 2010 RUCA codes is available on the ERS website. Plans are underway for the decennial update of the RUCA codes, however the release date is uncertain. USDA, Economic Research Service (ERS) will update its RUCA codes using population data from the 2020 Census and the latest urban area delineations from the Census Bureau, which were released in December 2022. ERS’s RUCA codes also require a third input: updated commuting data from the American Community Survey, measured at the census tract level. We do not know when these data will be available. Currently, we estimate that the 2020 RUCA codes would be released no earlier than Spring 2025. We will update this notice as more information is available.

Rural-Urban Continuum Codes
The 2023 Rural-Urban Continuum Codes distinguish U.S. metropolitan (metro) counties by the population size of their metro area, and nonmetropolitan (nonmetro) counties by their degree of urbanization and adjacency to a metro area.

Each county and census-designated county-equivalent in the United States, including those in outlying territories, is assigned one of these nine codes. The codes allow researchers, policy makers, and others to view county-level data by finer residential groups—beyond metro and nonmetro—when analyzing trends related to population density and metro influence.
