rural district
Non-urban administrative zone
A rural district is an administrative division in some countries, designating an area outside cities and towns that is governed as a unit.
The term appears in British administrative history and in various Commonwealth nations.
Rural districts typically have lower population density and may have different governance structures than urban areas: The rural district council met monthly to address local concerns.
