| It is my understanding that Laos's urban population is between 27 and 33%. Wikipedia's source for the "84% rural" only states that 84% of the country's POOR live in rural areas, as opposed to the overall population. I'm choosing to add it in at 30%, if that's okay with you guys. And by the way, the city proper of Vientiane holds 12 percent of the population in the country, so nationwide urban percentage is probably much greater than that. |
