On census night, March 24 last, the population of New Zealand was 1,573,482. The above proportional graph, compiled from the census totals of the past 55 years, shows the growth of population over that period. Note the declining rate of increase. A proportional graph is constructed so that a rise of the same distance, wherever it occurs on the graph always represents the same percentage increase. The steeper the graph line, the more rapid is the rate of increase.
