In which situation can the effect of population growth appear different locally than nationally?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When migration is very high in a city but national growth is moderate

The direct answer is A. National population growth is an average or overall change for the country, but local places can experience very different conditions. A city receiving many migrants may grow quickly even when the country’s overall growth is only moderate. Migration can increase the local population and demand for housing, jobs, transport, water, schools, and health services. Option A is correct because it shows why scale and movement of people matter. Option B is wrong because identical rates would not create the stated difference in effect. Option C is not a meaningful example of comparing local growth in an inhabited place. Option D is wrong because the absence of a census creates a measurement problem; it does not itself produce a local-national growth pattern. Also, local change can reflect births, deaths, and migration, while the national total includes movements within the country differently from local areas. Memory cue: national averages can hide strong local gains or losses.
