    def self.en_g2603_description
      'Rural-Urban County Size Code Codes is a 1 position Rural/Urban continuum code from Economic Research Services. The Rural-Urban County Size Code codes are Rural-Urban Continuum Codes developed by The Economic Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (ERS/USDA). These codes distinguish counties within Metropolitan Statistical Areas (Metro) by the population of the CBSA, and counties not in Metropolitan Statistical Areas (Non-Metro)-they may be in Micropolitan Statistical Areas or not in any CBSA at all-by degree of urbanization and adjacency to one or more Metropolitan Statistical Areas. The Metro and Non-Metro counties have been subdivided into three and six subgroups, respectively, resulting in nine county classifications. This allows for analysis and selection by finer distinction than the simple Metro and Non-Metro classification, CBSA type, or Nielsen County Size Code.'
