A possible answer:
In the graph, we can see how the population in the town changed between 1900 and 2000. We can see the population going up the vertical line and the years going across the horizontal line. The graph shows the population increased by more than one hundred percent from two and a half million to five million in one hundred years. At first it increased very slowly, but after 1945 it increased much more quickly. From 1990 to 2000, the population even increased by one million. The town itself also grew in size during this time.
