If a district has high absolute growth but low growth rate, what is the correct analysis?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The base population may be very large

Direct answer: C, the base population may be very large. Absolute growth is the actual number added, whereas growth rate is the increase expressed as a percentage of the initial population. For example, an increase of 10,000 people on a base of 1,000,000 is only 1%, but the absolute addition is still large. A small base can produce a high percentage even when the number added is small, so A is not the best analysis here. B is impossible because a district with no initial population cannot have ordinary percentage growth calculated in this way. D is wrong because growth rate is useful when its denominator and time period are understood. Always examine both the number added and the starting population. Memory cue: absolute growth tells “how many”; growth rate tells “how large compared with the starting base.”
