THE POPULATION OF CITIES.
Nearly One-Third Of the People of the Cour
try Live in Town.

Nearly One-Third Of the People Of the Coun-
try Live In Town.
The census Office has issued bulletin giving
the population Of cities in the country contain
ing 5000 inhabitants or more. The total urban
population in 1890 was 1s, 235, $50 or 29l2 per
cent of the total population. In 1880
the urban population was 11,s1s, SAT
or 22.57 per cent of the whole.
The proportion Of urban population has in
creased gradually during the past century from
3.35 up to 29.12 per cent, or from one-thirt ieth
up to nearly one-third Of the total population
The increase has been quite regular from
the beginning up TO 1880, while from 1880 to
1890 it has made a leap from 22.57 up to %. I2
per cent, thus illustrating in forcible manner
the accelerated tendency of our population to-
ward urban life. The number Of cities having
a population of more than 5000 increased from
six in 1870 to 2s6 in 1880, whence it has leaped
to AS in 1890.
In 1880 there was but one city, New York.
which had a population in excess Of q million.
In 1890 there were three, New York, Chicago
and Philadelphia.
In 1870 there were but fourteen cities each
containing more than 100, 600 inhabitants. In
1880 this number had increased to twenty and
in 1880 to twenty-eight.

their rank in 1880 was New York, NY, I,5l5,-
