The Population window displays graphs of statistics about your city's population. It can be opened by selecting the Population tab in the City Info window. The City Info window can be displayed by choosing City Info from the Windows menu.



The three buttons on the bottom of the window let you choose between three different population-related graphic displays:

Population shows the age distribution of your population, and gives the percentage of the population that is your potential work force.

Health shows the Life Expectancy (LE) of your population, by age, and summarizes the LE of your work force.

Education shows the average education level of your citizens at various ages, expressed in their Education Quotient (EQ). A high EQ attaracts high-tech industry to your city. EQ is affected by the presence of schools, colleges, libraries and museums.
