Still, no difference between that and where I currently live, except for the number of people. I guess we have a Target.

I dunno, to me it has to do with isolation. If I want to get to a place with over one million people in it I have to drive nonstop for twelve hours. Hell, I have to do that to get to a place with over 100,000 people in it.
Isolation is one thing, but if you have everything an urban location has within a few minute's drive, I'd say you're not very isolated at all. You could argue that Las Vegas is isolated if you go by how long it takes to get to a bigger city.

Rural for me means "What do you mean, McDonalds is shut and the local Chinese doesn't deliver to this address?"

I think I agree with most of this: Difference Between Urban and Rural | Difference Between | Urban vs Rural

*looks up Target*
