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 20th 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 20th
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.
