What is the FCC definition of a rural area?

So my take in looking over the ARRL "readers digest" article & the
Dayton presentation where they state:

"The new FAA regulations, implemented in the summer of 2019 now require
that the only towers less than 200 feet tall that have to be painted and
lighted are/meteorological aids and those within the glide slope of an
airport or heliport./The remainder of such towers/in rural or
agricultural areas lower than 200 feet need to only/be included in
an FAA-maintained database, which will be updated by the owners of such
towers."

Is that I will have to register my 2-3 towers in the FAA database since
I live in a rural area (farmland all around me) and the towers are
removed away from any buildings etc.
