Admissions and underrepresented areas

How easy is it for the admissions office to tell if a student is from an underrepresented area? I live in a state where the main metropolitan area is well known and respected for academic strength and cultural advantage, but I am 6 hours away from it. Night and day, basically. I just want to think that they can see that without working too hard (I doubt every admissions office is getting out google maps, etc). Is this something I should mention to a regional counselor, or is that annoying?
