Based on the information determined using the rank size rule, it can be concluded that the rank size can be applied somewhat validly to Belize. Although the rank size rule estimate for San Ignacio (30,092) is relatively inaccurate, the actual population is 20,027, the majority of the rank size rule estimates are relatively accurate.
