If an area's boundary has changed, what caution is needed when comparing its population growth with the previous decade?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The base area may be different because of the boundary change

The direct answer is A. Population growth should normally be compared for the same geographical area in both periods. If a village, town or part of a district is added or removed, the population total may change because the boundary changed, not because births, deaths or migration produced the same amount of growth. To make a fair comparison, identify the old and new boundaries and use data adjusted to one common area whenever possible. Option A is correct because it warns that the base area may not be the same. Option B is wrong because boundaries can substantially affect totals and calculated rates. Option C is wrong because data do not automatically become zero. Option D is wrong because weather is not the only determinant of population growth; births, deaths and migration also matter. Memory cue: changed boundary means changed comparison base.
