Indicator Summary
A rural population is typically defined by its low population density, vast open spaces, and its reliance on agriculture or natural resource-based economies. Rural areas often have smaller settlements, where social life is close-knit, and the lifestyle tends to be more traditional, often tied to farming, forestry, fishing, or mining. Infrastructure such as transportation, healthcare, education, and technology may be limited, impacting the quality of life and access to opportunities. In contrast, an urban population is characterized by higher population density, infrastructure development, and economic diversification. Urban areas are hubs of industrial, service, and technology-driven economies. Cities and towns offer access to education, healthcare, and entertainment, with modern amenities and a more cosmopolitan lifestyle. The focus is on non-agricultural activities, and there is greater integration into national and global markets.
