The given graphs elucidate the changes in distribution of population in the Northwest over a period of 100 years and projection for up to 2050.

At the start of the 20^th century, almost 2/3rds of the population in the Northwest resided in rural regions, while a little less than 40% inhabitants lived in cities. Suburbs had barely 10% population.

By 1950, percentage of population in sub-urban areas had risen by 100%, to 20%, while villages witnessed a dip of 20%, the number of inhabitants in big cities remained somewhat same.

The latter half of the 20^th century witnessed a spike in suburban populace, reaching 40%. At this point the number of people living in the suburbs reached at par with the percentage of inhabitants in big urban centers, while rural population dipped drastically to 20%.

By 2050, it is expected that outskirts of city would support more than half of the population of Northwest while villages would have barely 10% people. The urban population is expected to remain static.
