According to the data, the rank size rule is not valid for Rwanda. All of the populations are doubled, so the rank size rule does not provide a very accurate prediction of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th largest cities in Rwanda. The rank size rule should not be used to predict populations for cities in Rwanda, because the results would not be accurate.
