About
We uphold the following values as foundational to our work and the success of the communities we serve: We continuously learn, improve, and collaborate to encourage innovative solutions that drive meaningful change. We cultivate trusted, credible leaders, within the Center and across rural communities, to help move North Carolina forward. We foster cultures of access, belonging, and mutual respect, creating communities where all people can live and thrive. We focus on long-term, sustainable results that lead to visible, lasting change in rural communities. 78 counties with an average population density of 250 people per square mile or less. 16 counties with an average population density between 250 and 750 per square mile. 6 counties with an average population density that exceeds 750 people per square mile. Densities calculated by the Rural Center based on the 2020 U.S. Census. We champion rural North Carolina by investing in people, communities, and potential. A North Carolina where every rural voice matters and every rural community thrives.
