Rural and urban are defined using census tracts.

Sources: Data on demographic characteristics of census tracts came from the American Community Survey (2015-2019 estimates); Data on Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) locations from LTCFocus; data on persistent poverty came from the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (NCI SEER) file on time-dependent census tract attributes; and files used for mapping came from the National Historical Geographic Information System (NHGIS). LTCFocus is sponsored by the National Institute on Aging (1P01AG027296) through a cooperative agreement with the Brown University School of Public Health.
