Rank-Size Rule
The rank-size rule is an empirical regularity describing the size distribution of cities within a country or region. In its simplest form, popularized by George Kingsley Zipf in 1949, the population of a city is inversely proportional to its rank, so the second-largest city is about half the size of the largest, the third about a third, and so on. Generalized to a power law with an exponent q, it provides a compact way to summarize how evenly or unevenly population is spread across a settlement system and to diagnose urban primacy.
