    What city is home to more than 20% of its continent's population?

    Question #99807. Asked by SanGermain. (Sep 30 08 1:43 PM)

    		Sydney

    According the population numbers contained in the sites below, Australia has a 2008 (estimated) count of over 21 million (by the 2006 census, it has just over 19 million) and Sydney has over 4 million. That would make it over 20% of the total Australian population living in Sydney, if we went by the 2006 census.

    Just noticed, though, that the population of the whole continent (including New Zealand, etc.) has 32 million inhabitants, making Sydney closer to 13% of the continent's population.
