Answer:

According to the United States Census Bureau, an urban area is a city with a population size of more than 2,500 people, and a rural area has a population of less than 2,500 people. This definition can be tricky because it does not include information about the size of the area or the density of the population.

Due to the vague nature of this definition, function is also considered when differentiating these terms. In general, an area is considered rural if most of the residents survive on agriculture or rely on natural resource-based occupations, such as logging or fishing. On the other hand, an area is considered urban when it has residents that do not directly depend on natural resource-based occupations.

Rural vs. Urban

Now that we have a better understanding of what makes an area rural or urban, let's explore the populations of these areas. Although the population density in urban areas is generally higher than in rural areas, the overall size of the population in each location has fluctuated over time. For the majority of human history, most people have lived in rural areas and have survived by hunting, gathering, fishing, farming or other occupations based on nature.

It wasn't until around 300 years ago, during the Industrial Revolution, that the population began to shift. People began to move to urban areas in search of jobs, food, housing, education, healthcare and more social activities.

Urbanization is the term used to describe the shift from rural to urban living and the increased concentration of the human population in densely populated cities. In the mid 1800s, only 2% of the entire human population lived in urban areas. By the 1950s, the percentage of the human population living in urban areas was up to around 29%, and by 2009, that number had reached 50%. This number is expected to increase rapidly and by 2050, it is predicted that over 70% of the human population will live in urban areas.

I hope it will help .
