In 2023, the share of urban population in Pakistan remained nearly unchanged at around 38.04 percent. Nevertheless, 2023 still represents a peak in the share in Pakistan with 38.04 percent. A country's urbanization rate refers to the share of the total population living in an urban setting. International comparisons of urbanization rates may be inconsistent, due to discrepancies between definitions of what constitutes an urban center (based on population size, area, or space between dwellings, among others).
Urban population refers to people living in urban areas as defined by national statistical offices. The data are collected and smoothed by United Nations Population Division.
