The share of urban population in Afghanistan saw no significant changes in 2022 in comparison to the previous year 2021 and remained at around 26.62 percent. Still, the share reached its highest value in the observed period in 2022. The urban population refers to the share of the total population living in urban centers. Each country has their own definition of what constitutes an urban center (based on population size, area, or space between dwellings, among others), therefore international comparisons may be inconsistent.
