The percentage of urbanized population by country (2018 data)

This is a list of countries by urbanization.

Methodology

There are two measures of the degree of urbanization of a population. The first, urban population, describes the percentage of the total population living in urban areas, as defined by the country

The second measure, rate of urbanization, describes the projected average rate of change of the size of the urban population over the given period of time.

As of 2020, some countries with more than 80% of people living in urban areas are the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Japan, Australia, the United Kingdom, France, Spain and South Korea.

193 United Nations member states plus the Vatican are given a number, other entries are italicized and unnumbered.[original research?]
