ELIGIBLE RURAL AREAS- CALIFORNIA Guaranteed Rural Housing Loan Program United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development The Guaranteed Rural Housing loan program may be used to finance properties located in rural areas. Rural is defined as any town of 25,000 or less that is not adjacent to a large city or that is not part of a continuous urban area. Since California is a large state with many small towns, a listing of all eligible rural towns would take several pages. Therefore, the listing below is intended to give an overview of eligible rural areas in each county. This listing is of towns where the rural population is the largest and most concentrated and where there is the most activity of USDA GRH loans. Also, please note that there are 20 counties in California that are completely eligible for the GRH loan program. Those counties are listed on the third page of this handout. The list below is only a partial listing of the many small communities eligible to participate in the Guaranteed Rural Housing loan program.
