Based on the information determined using the rank size rule, it can concluded that the rank size rule is not valid when applied to Bangladesh. For example, most if not all of the rank size rule estimates for the five largest cities in Bangladesh are off by around 1,000,000 people. Due to the fact that most of the rank size rule estimates for the five largest cities in Bangladesh are immensely inaccurate, it can be reasonable concluded that the rank size rule is invalid when applied to the nation of Bangladesh.
