Rural Land Area data was reported at 30,172.337 sq km in 2015. This records a decrease from the previous number of 30,190.685 sq km for 2000. Rural Land Area data is updated yearly, averaging 30,190.685 sq km from Dec 1990 (Median) to 2015, with 3 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 30,229.671 sq km in 1990 and a record low of 30,172.337 sq km in 2015. Rural Land Area data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Lesotho – Table LS.World Bank.WDI: Environmental: Land Use, Protected Areas and National Wealth. Rural land area in square kilometers, derived from urban extent grids which distinguish urban and rural areas based on a combination of population counts (persons), settlement points, and the presence of Nighttime Lights. Areas are defined as urban where contiguous lighted cells from the Nighttime Lights or approximated urban extents based on buffered settlement points for which the total population is greater than 5,000 persons.;Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN)/Columbia University. 2013.
