Urban Geography
The Five Largest Cities: N'Djamena, Moundou, Sagh, Abeche, and Kelo
The Population of the Largest City: 721,081
“Rank Size Rule” Used to Estimate Size of the Next Four Largest Cities: Moundou-360,541; Sagh-240,363; Abeche-180,270; Kelo-144,216
The Actual Populations of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, & 5th Largest Cities: Moundou-135,167; Sagh-102,528; Abeche-74,188; Kelo-42,533
"Rank-Sized Rule": By using the information above, I believe that the rank size rule isn't shown very well. The differences between the actual and the estimates are at least one hundred-thousand each. To me, this is a large sum that shows inaccuracy in the rank size rule. These differences make me believe that Cape Verde is not the best example for a rank size rule country.
