Rural areas have a low population density and small settlements. Local governments are structured in accordance with the laws of the various individual states.
Each state has at least two separate tiers of government counties and municipalities. Some states are divided even further into townships.
The different types of local reflect the levels of population density; examples include city, town, borough and village.
Some of the major elected officials are city council, town board, or board of aldermen.
