In 2022, 83 percent of the population in Saudi Arabia lived in urban centers, whereas the remaining 17 percent resided in rural areas. Since 2000, the country has witnessed a steady increase in urbanization, in addition to the influx of foreign workers, both of which have contributed to the significant disparity between urban and rural dwellers. By 2023, the GDP per capita in the country is expected to reach approximately 32,580 U.S. dollars.
