What fraction of Netherlands lives in a city vs the rural areas?

Even in the most urbanised part of the country most people still drive for most distances over ~5km. If you have to get from one side of Rotterdam to the other side a car is much faster than a bike or public transportation.
Rotterdam is much more car-friendly than Amsterdam.
