    I agree that both the map and the statistic I’ve posted don’t take those country-specific characteristics into account.

    I’m not sure how important that difference really is, though, as both the US and Germany seem to have pretty similar degrees of urbanization (US: 83.3%; Germany: 77.8%; source). So the rural population isn’t really that big in either country, relatively speaking.

    I’m not trying to say that the rural population isn’t a factor, I’m just not sure how big that factor really is.
