USDA Loan Eligible Areas

If you’re interested in a USDA Loan for you home, the next step is to find out whether the home your looking to purchase is currently in a USDA eligible area. USDA eligible areas vary from state to state and are determined based on several different factors. For an area to be USDA eligible it must be located in a rural area. The USDA defines a rural area as any area that is rural in nature and is not part of or associated with an urban area, or any town, village or city and has less than 10,000 residents. Other less rural areas outside of major population centers with a serious lack of mortgage credit may qualify with populations between 10,000-20,000 residents. Many of these areas may not even be rural in nature, but have populations of less than 20,000 and are not associated with any major town or cities
