Validity of the Rank Size Rule
The Rank Size Rule is not valid in Yemen. Each city's estimated population was not in the vicinity of the actual population. The second largest city, in fact, had a difference of 444,247. There was no proportional difference in each of the top five large cities; each decreased at a different amount, which goes against the definition of the Rank Size Rule.
