Notes
Rural and urban classifications rely on a joint OECD-EU effort to classify these two groups based on population grids (not administrative units) that directly capture the spatial concentration of people. This is different from Gallup’s earlier measures of rurality which relied on a survey respondent’s perception of the urbanicity of their residence. The Global Findex Database 2021 uses the new estimate and provides account ownership averages for adults living in rural and urban areas. These averages are available only for those economies in which face-to-face surveys were conducted and are not compared with the 2011, 2014, and 2017 data, nor with regional or global averages.
