This metric quantifies the proportion of Dominica's total population residing in urban areas. It serves as a crucial indicator of the country's level of urbanization and the pace of rural-to-urban migration. Economists and policymakers monitor this figure to understand demographic shifts, which have significant implications for infrastructure development, housing demand, employment patterns, and the provision of public services. The calculation typically involves dividing the number of people living in designated urban centers by the total national population and expressing the result as a percentage. An increasing percentage signals a growing urban population, often driven by economic opportunities in cities, and can point to potential strain on urban resources. Conversely, a declining or stagnant rate might suggest a slowdown in urbanization, potentially due to economic stagnation in urban areas or a resurgence of rural livelihoods. Tracking this indicator helps in planning for sustainable urban growth and addressing potential disparities between urban and rural economies.
