Cities' Population according to Rank Size Rule
|
According to the actual populations of the first five major cities of Denmark, the rank size rule proves to not be valid in this situation. After comparing the actual populations with the calculated populations according to the rank size rule, the actual populations of the first five major cities shows to be much lower than the calculated populations. For example, the actual population of Aarhus is 256,018. However, according the the Rank Size Rule, Aarhus's population should be 615,364. Another example for the invalidity of the Rank Size Rule is Esbjerg. According to the Rank Size Rule, the population of Esbjerg should be 246,145. The actual population of Esbjerg is 71,491.
