I’m often depressed by the number of people. But people living in the city often say that their city is even the countryside. I’m sure I can’t live in the big city like Tokyo and Osaka.
私は都会よりも田舎の方が好きです。私は一年前に田舎から県庁所在地に引っ越しました。(安全のためその都市の名前は明かしません。)その市にはたくさんの人がいて私はその人の多さに辟易してしまいます。でもその市に住んでいる人は自分の住んでいる市は田舎だと言います。私は絶対に東京や大阪のような大都市には住めないなと思いました。

I moved to a capital city of the prefecture from a rural area a year ago.
You haven't yet introduced a specific rural area, so you say "a rural area" instead of "the rural area"
The "y" in "year" is not considered a vowel sound, so it takes "a" instead of "an". (Or you could say "one year ago", which might be something you've heard before)
(I won’t reveal the city because offor security reasons)
(I won’t reveal the city for security reasons)
"for security reasons" is more natural than "because of security"
In the city, there is a large number of people! In the city, there is a large number of people!
Any number, is "a number of people", including 1 :) So it's better to include the adjective.
I’m often depressed by the number (/ amount) of people. I’m often depressed by the number (/ amount) of people.
"number of people" is ok, but "amount of people" can sound more natural here in my opinion.
But people living in the city often say that even their city is even the countrysiderural.
But people living in the city often say that even their city is rural.
"their city is the countryside" sounds a bit like they're saying that just their city is the countryside, so using the adjective "rural" gets the point across a bit more naturally.

You haven't introduced a specific city yet ("one like Tokyo and Osaka" doesn't count as specific), so it's "a big city" rather than "the big city"

It's definitely hard to explain which of "a"/"the" should be used - it's a bit like how Japanese learners have trouble with は and が I think.
Personally, I grew up in a small city, then moved to the countryside, then a big city, then a small town. I think I preferred the city the most of those, there was just so many places you could go easily.

But, the people living in the city often say that their city is even busier than the countryside. But, the people living in the city often say that their city is even busier than the countryside.
I'm just guessing based on context. "Even" is an adverb, which means that it is a word that adds emphasis or further description to another word or phrase, and that is missing in the original sentence.
