Award per rural resident from $10 billion available through the rural health fund in the first year

Note: Overall award per rural resident includes all 50 states. DC and the U.S. territories were ineligible for funding. The rural population for each state is defined based on the HRSA definition of "rural", which CMS uses to allocate a portion of the rural health funds. This definition includes all nonmetropolitan areas as well as some parts of metropolitan areas.
