that was the result of cold war era studies, which was based on recent natural disasters and localized results in WWII I believe.
but keep in mind, the closer to the land and less dependent on trade and commerce the society, the less likely is it for parts of that society to stop functioning because some other parts are dead.
kill half of people in a region inhabited by hunter gatherer or subsistence farmers, the rest can probably continue to function unaffected. Kill half of the people in a city or suburb, the rest probably split between being killed by eachother to gain dwindling stock of food and fleeing into the country. city and suburb would probably empty out abs stop functioning as transportation and communication hubs.
