In which condition can population-growth data hide regional inequality?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When the state average growth is given but growth differs among districts

Direct answer: Option A. An average is a summary of several areas, so it can conceal important differences within the group. For example, a state may show a moderate average growth rate even though one district is growing very rapidly and another is growing slowly or declining. If only the state average is studied, planners may miss unequal needs for schools, hospitals, water, housing, and employment. Option A is correct because different district patterns can be hidden by one overall figure. Option B is wrong because equal growth would not create this particular hidden inequality. Option C is wrong because detailed local data help reveal differences. Option D is wrong because providing both rate and absolute growth generally gives a fuller picture, although the spatial pattern must still be checked. Memory cue: an average can hide extremes; always inspect the smaller regions.
