In 1920 many more Americans lived in rural areas than in cities?

In 1920, the majority of Americans still resided in rural areas, reflecting the agrarian nature of the country at the time. However, this year also marked a significant turning point, as it was the first census to show that more people lived in urban areas than in rural ones. This shift indicated the beginning of a major demographic change driven by industrialization, urbanization, and economic opportunities in cities. As a result, many Americans migrated to urban centers for jobs and a different lifestyle.
