3.4 million Pennsylvanians, out of 12.96m, live in rural areas according to that link you posted and then deleted. That means that 73.7% of Pennsylvanians, the great majority of the state, live in urbanized areas.

What I'm getting from this is that the great majority of Pennsylvanians live in urbanized areas.

I think you’re getting the rural population percent confused with the rural land area percent.

Unless I looked at it wrong the linked I posted is saying that PA has the third largest rural population per capita. Not by numbers. I could have interpreted it wrong. I was only really trying to make a point that per capita PA's residents are more "rural" than other states people think of as more rural.
