Rural Population

Rural population refers to the group of people living in non-urban areas, typically characterized by low density and a close connection to agriculture or natural environments. In population cartography, which is the visual representation of demographic data, rural population maps highlight where these communities are located, their size, growth, and characteristics. By studying these maps, we can understand trends like migration, access to resources, and the impact of rural policies, helping in planning and resource management for these less densely populated areas.
