There are no universally agreed-upon boundaries. However, Rural Urban Suburban are general designations given by the US government agencies (often used for determining grants and tax incentives). Not all agencies use the exact same population break downs or terms (exam. some may use Metropolitan Areas).

Suburban: 1,000 ‐ 3,000 persons per square mile
Rural: less than 1,000 persons per square mile

This reaches an eventual peak in an area of isolated rurality before the scale of rurality (see Cloke's scale of rurality) declines again to a trough in an urban centre.
