Note: The rural subtypes of town/rural fringe, town/rural distant, and remote rural were constructed by the School Obesity-related Policy Evaluation (ScOPE) study team informed by National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and Rural-Urban Commuting Areas (RUCA) location classifications. The subtypes represent increasing distances from a metropolitan center.
