Change in population of 3 big cities

Change in population of 3 big cities ABPDN

This line graph shows the change in population for the cities of Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane from 1992 to 2017. While all cities saw a net increase in annual population growth by 2011, and the most dramatic increases happened between 2007 and 2010. In spite of this overall trend, there were a number of rises and falls in growth, with all cities showing a decrease in growth in 2011. Although it started out with the least annual growth, Melbourne’s growth accelerated the most overall, starting with only a roughly 23k increase in people in 1992, but gaining around 110, 000 people in 2017. Brisbane started out with nearly as little growth as Melbourne, but had a lower net gain, rising from slightly over 23k growth in 1992 to a gain of merely 50, 000 by 2017. Sydney started out with the highest growth rate at 30, 000 in a year, but ended with 105, 000 annual growth by the end of the period, just behind Melbourne.
