About: Countries by Urban Population Share 2025
Overview of the data behind this chart
Countries ranked by the percentage of their population living in urban areas in 2025 according to UN World Urbanisation Prospects. Several small and wealthy nations have essentially complete urban populations — Singapore, Monaco, and Kuwait report urban population shares above 98%, reflecting city-state geographies, resource-driven economies, and the absence of significant agricultural hinterlands that typically anchor rural populations in larger countries.
