Overall, as it can be seen, the ratio of rising percentage is the highest in Malaysia and the lowest Philippines. One can notice, that the trend of residing in a city was becoming more and more popular amongst people in Indonesia throughout the years and is predicted to become the second highest percentage among four countries.
Since 1970, percentage in Indonesia had been the lowest, holding on the difference of approximately 5 percent, than Thailand until 1990, when percentage in Thailand started to level out. In 2000 Indonesia equalized with Thailand, overtook it and held the tendency of rising. At the same time, the difference between percentage in Indonesia and Philippines was around 20%. Towns in Philippines were depopulating at that time, which lead to Indonesia catching up in 2011.
