Rural poverty is definitely poverty.

The term rural ghetto can be used.

I didn't say that rural poverty isn't poverty. I'm simply saying that the word "ghetto" almost always refers to an urban context.

”there is no such thing as a rural ghetto.”

”the word "ghetto" almost always refers to an urban context.”

These are not the same thing.
