I took a look at San Juan County Washington 
http://www.pfbestplaces.com/default.asp?pageAction=Stats&CountyId=53055
This as I recall is made up of islands up towards Canada. You have to 
really like living on an island to do it...
The first thing that jumped out was the income, heck the average 
household income is a lot more than we make in a year. Heck the house 
prices put that WAY out of my reach.

The one county I know about (that's on the list- Stearns) in 
Minnesota is close to the cities & that's where the people are.

I'd guess that my idea of "rural" is different from what the magazine 
is shooting for.
