The same indicator for neighboring countries — with links to their pages
The share of population living in urban settlements, as a percent of the total. One caveat is central: each country sets the criteria for a city itself — in some places it is a settlement of 2,000 residents or more, in others 20,000, in others administrative status. Cross-country comparisons of urbanization are therefore always approximate, while the trend within a single country is informative.
Important: Sharp jumps in individual years are usually explained not by people moving but by changes in the administrative boundaries of cities.
