The graph below shows the population change between 1940 and 2000 in three different counties in the U.S. state of Oregon.

The graph below shows the population change between 1940 and 2000 in three different counties in the U.S. state of Oregon.
The graph shows the
increase
in the
population
of three counties, Columbia, Yamhill and Washington in the U.S. state of Oregon, between 1940 and 2000. In 1940, Columbia had the lowest
population
of the three counties, at around 25,000.
This
is compared with about 30,000 in Yamhill and approximately 75,000 in Washington. By 1970, Columbia’s
population
had risen to just under 36,000.
Although
this
appears on the graph to be a gentle
increase
, it is in fact an
increase
of approximately 50%. Yamhill’s
population
also
rose by nearly 50% between 1940 and 1970: from 30,000 to just under 45,000.
However
, the greatest real
increase
was in Washington, where the
population
in 1970 had increased by approximately 75,000, to 125,000. The years 1970 to 2000 saw the populations of Columbia and Yamhill
increase
by approximately the same amounts that they had increased by the thirty years before. In 2000, Columbia’s
population
– at approximately 76,000 – was triple what it had been in 1940.
Likewise
, Yamhill’s
population
, at around 90,000, was almost triple what it was in 1940.
Although
Washington’s
increase
in
population
between 1940 and 1970 was large, its
increase
in the following thirty years was even sharper, rising from about 125,000 in 1970 to more than 240,000 in 2000.
