Ever lived in a non-Metro county? (college, living in, moving to)

Have you ever lived in a rural county that was NOT within a Metropolitan or a Micropolitan statistical area? If unsure, use this map to check it out.

I've lived in three of them, Brown KS, Dent MO and Madison FL. Each of them for more than a year.

Hah, I live in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and I had to vote no. Not what I expected coming into this thread. Sault Ste. Marie Micropolitan area!

No, I'm currently living in Hartford County CT and moving to Simpson County MS. I was surprised to see it's part of the Jackson metro area.

I live in Lake County OH, it's where I grew up and I couldn't stand leaving the area.

I've lived in the Philly metro all my life, except 3 years spent in Lancaster.

This is about as non-metro as you get. I don't even live in a county. Okay, we don't have counties here, we have boroughs, but I don't live in a borough, either.

Does State College PA count, seemed pretty rural to me outside of decent sized college town in the middle of mountains

Would not ever think of that area as a city as much as I do enjoy Happy Valley

I haven't officially lived there, but I've spent a lot of time in the summer in Plumas County, California where a lot of my family resides. It's not that far to Reno, but according to that map it's not part of a metro or micropolitan area.

It was also the last county in California that until recently didn't have a stoplight in the entire county.

My brother also used to live in Mono County, CA--itself not in a metro or micropolitan area.

Odd classification on that map, half of Wyoming wouldn't qualify for this poll!
