urban population
Metropolitan area inhabitants
Urban population refers to people living in cities and towns rather than rural areas.
The threshold varies by country—some define urban as settlements above 2,500 people, others use 10,000 or more.
The urban population now exceeds 50% globally.
The term appears frequently in demographic studies, census data, and discussions of urbanization trends.
