American Population
Has Drifted to Cities

At the birth of the American nation
$50 years ago, it's largest city has not
more than $4,000 inhabitants and only
one person out of 80 lived in the six
towns of 5000 or more inhabitants,
Abram L. Harris, Jr., writes in Cur
rent History Magazine. In 1900
there were in the United States only
six cities whose population was over
5000 and these contained only 4 per
cent of the population of the entire
country. In 1900 there were SAT. such
cities, which at this time contained
32.9 per cent of the country's popula-
ton. But in 1920 the number of such
cities had increased to 924 and con-
tanned 43.S' per cent Of the total popu-
lation. Today nearly one-half of the
American population lives in places
of over $500 inhabitants, a tenth in
villages, and hardly more than two
fifths in the open country.
