This is an area defined by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) when setting "fair market rents" (FMR) for the Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments program. Non-metropolitan FMR areas are counties or parts of counties that are not in a metropolitan area, based on the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) definition of "metropolitan area." HUD does occasionally classify areas slightly differently than OMB, so it is possible for a location to be part of both a metropolitan area (by the OMB's definition) and a non-metropolitan area (by HUD's definition).
