Rank Size Rule • This is an attempt to find a numerical relationship between population size of settlements within an area such as a country or county • Settlements are ranked in descending order of population size, with the largest city first
Assumptions • The 2 nd ranked city will have 1/2 the population of the 1 st • The 3 rd ranked city will have 1/3 population of the 1 st • The 4 th ranked city will have a ¼ population of the 1 st ranked city
Example • • • The largest city has a population of 1, 000 The 2 nd largest city: 1, 000/2= 500, 000 The 3 rd city: 1, 000/3= 333, 333 The 4 th city: 1, 000/4= 250, 000 And so on….
Formula • This allows us to express the rank size rule as: • Pn= Pl /n (or R) • Pn= The population of the City • Pl= The population of the largest city • N (or R)= The rank size of the city
Primate City • This is found where the largest city (often the capital) completely dominates a country or region • The population size will be many times greater than that of the 2 nd or 3 rd city
Example of Primate City: Buenos Aires, Argentina • • Populations in thousands: Buenos Aires: 10, 990 Cordoba: 1198 Rosario: 1096 Mendoza: 775 La Plata: 640 San Miguel de Tucuman: 622
Binary Distribution • Occurs where there are 2 very large cities of almost equal size within the same country. One may be the capital and the other a major port or industrial centre • Examples: Spain- Barcelona and Madrid
Exceptions to the rule • Rank size rule is more likely to operate in a country that is developed or urbanized for a long time and is: – Large in size – Stable economic and political organisation • Primate distribution is likely to occur in countries that are small, less developed and only recently urbanised
