The question is specifically referencing the urban overload hypothesis, which is the idea that people in urban settings are less likely to offer help in emergency situations due to the high density of people and stimulation in the environment. Therefore, knowing where helpers currently are is more important than where they grew up or rural versus urban settings. Population size may also be important in this context as it relates to the urban overload hypothesis.
