The line graph illustrates the changes in urban and rural populations in Viet Nam between 1960 and 2020. 

Overall, while the proportion of rural residents continuously declined, the percentage of people living in urban areas showed a steady upward trend throughout the period.

In 1960, the vast majority of Vietnamese citizens lived in rural regions, accounting for around 85%. This figure fell slightly to 81% in 1980 and remained almost unchanged by 1990. However, from 1990 onwards, the rural population experienced a noticeable decrease, dropping to 63% in 2020.

By contrast, the urban population increased gradually over the same timeframe. Starting at only 15% in 1960, the proportion of urban dwellers rose to 19% in 1980 and stayed relatively stable until 1990. From that point, urbanisation accelerated, with the percentage reaching 37% by 2020.
