' TOWN.
. Washington, Jan. 13.—The urban
popuiation o the United States, or
- people living in placos of twenty five
hund=edd or more, is fifty four million,
:lh!m handred and eighteen thousand
;:lil(l thirty two, or 51.4 percont of tho
|m=m!r_',":< total population. The num
her in rural territories is fifty one
million, three hundred and ninety
‘l}ml:.;;lmi soven hundred and thirty
nine, the censns bureau annotinced.
Iz 1910 the urban popuiation was 45.8
percen,
- Ulrban and. mral population by
states included Georgia, 727,859, and
2.167.972: North Carolina, 490,370 and
- 2.068,755.
~ The proportion of urban population
ig larger than in 1910 in all but
three states, Colorado, Montana and
(Wymening, the largest increase be
ing in Michigan, Texas. Indiana,
Ohio and Florida. Okalahoma alsc
showed a considerable gain in pro
portion cf population living in urban
territory .
The bureau’'s statement did not
vndertake to account for the drift
U‘mm rural to urban territcry, but
previously officials have attributed
it largely to the world war. Large
i'::ul:n'ios in the eities attracted many
from the country while many sol

war took up life in the cities after
their dscharge.
This is the first time in the coun

the scpulation of continental United
States is living in urban tervitory.
