I live in a rural area. My town is located outside of a city.
So is it a lot of farms or cabins where you live?
Plenty of farms, not so many cabins. My town like all other rural areas, has a low population density. Not too many people out here.
Do you enjoy it like that?  There is a lot of traffic where I live and I wish there was not.
Yes I do, I enjoy the quiet. You must live in an urban area. Whatever is not urban is considered rural.
Yes, we live about 20 miles from the city area, so not rural.  But we do have some farms here and there.
Yes agricultural areas are mostly rural and also forests. 
I would not have thought about forests, that is interesting.  What about areas like lakes and rivers as well?
Rural area
In general, a rural area or countryside is a geographic area that is located outside towns and cities. The Health Resources and Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services defines the word "rural" as encompassing "...all population, housing, and territory not included within an urban area. Whatever is not urban is considered rural."
Typical rural areas have a low population density and small settlements. Agricultural areas are commonly rural, as are other types of areas such as forest.
constructed outside of the city near Larimore Dam and along the Turtle River, north and east of the town. Many of these homes are far larger and more expensive than those being built within the city limits.
In rural Larimore, population density is higher east of the town than towards the west. Although the area has lost farming households throughout many decades, many farms have been turned into horse ranches, hobby farms, or simply homesteads for commuters who wish to have more area than they would otherwise have in town.
