They don't control for ethnicity, but they study for 200 countries, not just the US. But more importantly -- this has taken place from 1990 to 2020. Have there been big demographic shifts between rural/urban in that time?
- rippercushions 4y agoYes, rural to urban migration is a huge factor across vast swathes of the world, and not just in poor countries. Many wealthy countries like Japan and South Korea are seeing the rural countryside rapidly depopulate, as the young decamp to cities in search of education and jobs.

- crooked-v 4y agoIn the US, the top 100 cities alone make up over 50% of the total population.
- numtel 4y agoWhere'd you find that stat? > The total 2020 enumerated population of all [331] cities over 100,000 is 96,598,047, representing 29.14% of the United States population (excluding territories) From: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_population https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities...
- HWR_14 4y agoThe 50% stat is talking about metro areas, not city boundaries. That is, what people on the ground would use to describe in a city vs. the legal borders. So, for instance, Greater Los Angeles has more than 18 million people by itself, where your source lists it as under 4 million. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Los_Angeles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Los_Angeles

- rizzom5000 4y ago> Have there been big demographic shifts between rural/urban in that time? The best one that I can think of is the fact that rural children probably spend more time outside engaging in physical activity. Even in the US, I know of high schools where a substantial number of the students are working full-time jobs outside during the summer, in addition to doing outdoors sports and other activities during the school year.
