India is the country with the highest rural population
In this modern era, it might seem as though cities and their inhabitants have taken over the planet, but in reality, many of the population still live in rural areas. It is estimated that around 893 million people live outside of cities. Most of those live in remote villages located in China or India.
This last country has the largest rural population, with 898 million people living away from any major cities. People from western countries tend to live closer to urban centers.
