    The document shows US Census data from 1790-2010 on total population, population increase, percent urban/rural breakdown, and actual urban and rural population counts. It finds that: a) Population and percent increases varied decade to decade but generally increased each period. b) Actual urban populations steadily increased while rural populations remained around 60 million from 1940 onward. c) This is because the total population continued growing rather than rural areas shrinking.
