Geographic concentration of population
Population is unevenly distributed among regions within OECD member countries. In 2003, approximately 40% of the OECD population was located in just 10% of regions (Figure 1.1). The concentration was greatest in Australia and Canada, where 10% of regions accounted for 64% and 61%, respectively, of the national population. Iceland (50%), the United States (49%) and Mexico (47%) followed with around half of their population living in 10% of regions. In contrast, the territorial distribution of the population was more balanced in the Slovak Republic (12%), the Czech Republic and Belgium (17%) and Denmark (18%).
