In the UK that would be a town. Nowhere near rural. My parents live in a village with less than 100 people living there. That's rural.

Though we do lack a word for village, it doesn't address the issues with urban/rural.

That said, a village with a hundred people doesn't guarantee rural, The City of London's 10,000 residents for example.

The city of london is only a part of a bigger city. A village with 100 people means that there's uninhabited space around that village.

It was an extreme example saying town size isn't the entire thing.

Many U.S. states have villages, towns, and cities legally defined. It varies by state. https://www2.census.gov/geo/pdfs/reference/GARM/Ch9GARM.pdf
