In which case I'd recommend checking this out for fantasy/historical cities: Medieval Demographics Made Easy by S. John Ross

That's not actually a very good source to use, though I do like his calculations on settlement area. Part one and two for a better source can be found here:

i looked at those and instantly had to think of the "cities" and "towns" of oblivion and skyrim, which would be much better, if the creative heads in the studio had read those blog posts or had done some reasearch on actual medieval settlements.

i started checking this against data from germany, by inserting it into his website ( https://www.rpglibrary.org/utils/meddemog/ ) and it just doesnt fit at all.
although the amount of settlements isn't too much off for 11th century, many numbers are way off still, like the blog mentioned: universities - every bigger city in germany had one and a few centuries later, some even had two.

my best guess is that these numbers best apply to small baronies etc.
also such numbers should be represented as float, whereas every number smaller than 1 would describe the likelyness of there being a university etc. and give a hint that should be regarded combined with other factors.

also many don't understand that 1800 is not medieval at all.
"In the history of Europe, the Middle Ages (or medieval period) lasted from the 5th to the 15th century. It began with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and merged into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. The Middle Ages is the middle period of the three traditional divisions of Western history: classical antiquity, the medieval period, and the modern period. The medieval period is itself subdivided into the Early, High, and Late Middle Ages. " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_Ages
