Chart

The document is a table showing the rural and urban populations in the United States from 1860 to 1920. It shows that the rural population was much higher than the urban population during this time period but that the urban population began to increase significantly from 1900 to 1920 while the rural population increased at a slower rate. This change was likely due to the Industrial Revolution causing many people to migrate from rural areas to cities in search of work.
