Population
Urban population %
The share of people living in urban areas. Each country defines 'urban' its own way, so cross-country comparisons are approximate – in some a town of 2,000 counts, in others it takes 20,000.
2025: highest value – Bahrain (100.0%), lowest – Liechtenstein (14.6%); 214 countries with data. World (as reported by the source): 57.8%.
