HMS Health in an Australian and Global Context Practice Test

Population distribution between urban and rural areas in Australia shows that the vast majority live in urban centers, with a relatively small share in rural and remote areas. The rural and remote population is about 28%, reflecting ABS measurements that group areas by Remoteness Areas and show roughly seven in ten Australians in capital or major urban areas. So, about three in ten Australians live outside the main urban hubs, making 28% the best estimate. The other options would imply a much larger or smaller share outside cities than what the data show.
