Population

Understanding the graph:

• The first bar graph takes into consideration 2013 populations and presents the percentage change over the three years to 2016. The second bar graph depicts the 2016 county populations only (excludes Wisconsin and United States).

Findings:

• The largest comparable counties are Wayne County (OH) and Sheboygan County (WI), which both counties showed slight increases in population from 2013 to 2016. The greatest percent increase in population was seen in the United States and Dubuque County (IA), while the greatest decrease was Macon County (IL) and Manitowoc County (WI). Fond du Lac County (WI) ranks right in the middle in terms of both population and percent change over the three years.
