Papua New Guinea has a population of over 6 million and the majority, that is 86%, live in the rural areas, while only 14% live in the urban areas. Except for National Capital District, all the provinces show the same trend, that the majority live in the rural areas. In Southern Highlands, almost 50% are living in the urban areas and this may be to the mining activites that have been ongoing there.
