1. Oslo (580,000)
2. Bergen
3. Trondheim
4. Stavanger
5. Drammen
Rank Size Rule:
Bergen=290,000 (Estimate)
Trondheim=193,334 (Estimate)
Stavanger=145,000 (estimate)
Drammen=116,000 (Estimate)
Actual Populations:
Bergen=213,585 (Actual)
Trondheim=147,139 (Actual)
Stavanger=121,610 (Actual)
Drammen=90,722 (Actual)
I would think that the rank size rule is valid in these predictions. They show lots of similarity to the actual populations. Maybe in MDC's is where the rank size rule can be applied. That could be the reason why it works with Norway. That's why I think this is valid.
