Hatay is the most rural province of Cilicia and also Hatay is the only province that the rural population is rising and the urban population is declining. The major reason is the mountainous geography of Hatay.

[[Adana Province]] is the most urbanized province, with most of the population centred in the city of [[Adana]]. [[Mersin Province]] has a larger rural population than [[Adana Province]], owing to its long and narrow stretch of flat land in between the [[Taurus Mountains]] and the Mediterranean.
