Congressional districts with no large urban centers

KY 5 0.2%. Can anyone tell me where exactly these 1222 people live?

Probably in Catlettsburg or Cannonsburg, Boyd County, which is in the Huntington-Ashland, WV-KY-OH Urbanized Area.  Southern parts of Boyd County were added to the district in the 2010 redistricting.

OK-02 encroaches on Tulsa.  A very small portion of the Tulsa Urbanized Area crosses into OK-02, probably near Owasso.

Cannonsburg (and some immediate surrounds; 1222 is slightly more than the CDP's population) is correct. Catlettsburg city is in KY-4 (and has more than 1222 inhabitants.)

Someone should tell Hal Rogers that Catlettsburg is in KY-04.  His website claims "Boyd County was split during the Kentucky legislature's 2012 Congressional redistricting process, placing the county seat, Catlettsburg and a southern rural portion of the county in Congressman Rogers service area".

The city of Tupelo counts as an urban area under your "50,000 definition".  Metro population is close to 140,000, making it the nation's 8th largest micropolitan statistical areas.

Tupelo has long been the economic engine of North Mississippi, not DeSoto County. 

The fact that Tupelo is in a micropolitan area, not a metropolitan area, means that Tupelo and all nearby urban areas are classified as urban clusters (2,500-49,999 population), not urbanized areas (50,000+ population).  The Tupelo urban cluster had a population of 40,995 in 2010.

Its certainly netted 5 people since 2010.  

It (the Tupelo urban cluster) would have to had net 9,005 people to be considered an urbanized area.  I doubt the urban cluster grew by 20% in 2 years.

The urbanized area in MS-01 is Memphis' Mississippi suburbs and exurbs, which have a population of 128,310.
