My statement is true about the rank size rule with the five highest populated cities in the country of Spain. the rank size rule looks at the populations and their sizes and compares them. the first city has a population of 3,255,944. the second country has a population of 1,621,537. the difference between the two populations is 1,634,407.That is not half of the population so you can compare and realize the second city is about 1/3 the size of the first city.
