Section 343(a)(13) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act ( 7 U.S.C. 1991(a)(13) ) is amended by adding at the end the following: In making determinations under this paragraph, the Secretary shall use indicators (such as Rural-Urban Commuting Area codes) at the census tract level to prioritize and maintain eligibility for small, geographically distinct settlements (whether or not incorporated) that are surrounded by an urban area but lack urban services and have a poverty rate of at least 20 percent, including tribal lands and farmworker settlements, to be designated as rural areas.
In this subparagraph, the term farmworker settlement means an area in which more than 50 percent of the households derive their primary income from agricultural labor or are headed by an individual who is or recently was employed in agriculture, as verified using American Community Survey data on industry and occupation and local data provided by State or tribal labor agencies. .
