The Census only considers towns over 2000 population as "urban," so by their count, the Silver Valley is only 17.4% urban. Alternatively, the city figures above show that the amount of "city folk" in the county has dropped from 60.5% to 60.0% from 1990 to 2000. However, to anyone who has actually lived in a real city, the thought of anywhere in the county being called "urban" is just plain "silly." The population density in the county is five people per square mile!
