2010 population: 1,653

The new census just came out and so far the easiest to understand version is via The Spokesman-Review Census 2010: Washington site for McCleary .

So according to the Census Bureau McCleary would be still classified as rural:

The Census Bureau identifies two types of urban areas:

  • Urbanized Areas (UAs) of 50,000 or more people;
  • Urban Clusters (UCs) of at least 2,500 and less than 50,000 people.
“Rural” encompasses all population, housing, and territory not included within an urban area.
