https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/us.html
says that 82.3% of the US population is "urban".  I appreciate that that
can have a variety of meanings, but is it not nevertheless true that
most people in the US live in cities?  I think the 90% there is meant to
refer to population, not land area.

(Note, I'm not talking about fairness here, just about the current
figures.)
