I am from a rural area, but now live in a suburban area.

Rural.

In front of my house there are like 10 cows on a field and some horses and chickens.

300 meters away from the house the mountainous forest starts, which means if I eat chicken and put the meaty bones out over night, the foxes and wild cats will come and take it with them ...

Suburban in Jersey terms, but I would imagine most of the country would look at most of NJ and consider it urban. 

I'll use the term sub-urban.

Inner-suburban. I don't feel comfortable considering this area suburban, yet it is not quite urban either.

Rural, surrounded by fields, woods, and gravel roads. I can see the suburbs in the distance though.

I went with sub, although I'm not well versed in the parameter.  (MT has ~1500 people per sq. mi.)

Suburban, though I spent roughly the first half of my life in an urban area.

The exact opposite of this. Urban in Tennessee terms, but most people would look at it and say suburban. 1950s ranch houses on quarter acre lots as far as the eye can see.

Dunno what that makes me.

If you don't live near a large city, that would probably make you rural. But if you do live near a large city, then it would be exurban. I live in an exurb for example because I live in a village of 7K people 20 miles away from Milwaukee.

I live in one of those inner suburbs that popped up right after WW2.

In Australia, absolutely every part of a metropolitan area bar "downtown" is classified as a suburb - ranging from historic neighbourhoods to the exurbiest exurb - so the American distinction between urban/suburban/exurban is a bit hard to apply.

The area I live in is sort of on the cusp between urban and suburban. Probably the best American term to describe it would be a "streetcar suburb". I voted urban since I don't really feel that I live in suburbia with all that implies -- but, really, I don't feel I have the "big city" experience that urban implies either.
