I need information for my debate topic and I found this website which gives me lots of answers but I was wondering if this statistic was taken in 2008 or last year?

how could a nation, even a very small one like bermuda, have a 100% urban population? Is this due to poor census data?

Just like most statistics on this site, a precise definition of what constitutes an "urban area" is not given. For that matter, not even a rough definition of the term "urban area" is given, so the statistic is pretty much useless.

I believe Nauru is a very rural, agriculture and fishing-based and undeveloped Pacific Ocean country (an island, in fact). So it's probably listed as being the most "urbanized" simply because there is only one town on the island of Nauru, where everybody lives. To say it's the most urbanized country is therefore spurious. In fact, to even consider it to be a "country" at all in the normally accepted sense of the word (when it's no more than a small island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, no offence to Nauruans intended) is also spurious.

how did you get the weighted average figure stated above? would it be fair to say that if you were a company looking at urbanization as a factor to Gage market attractiveness that the weighted average could be used as bench mark to eliminate certain countries on the basis that countries above the weighted average are more attractive then those with a figure below the weighted average.
