The Population of a City means the number of the inhabitants the city has.
- NOTE: The number of total population, shown in the graphs differs from the actual number of workers it represents. This is done for simulation reasons (to simplify the simulation), while keeping a realistic number of citizens, similar to real life population.
For purposes of the in-game simulation, each Low-density residence houses 1 worker, Middle density - 2 workers, High density - 5 workers. This corresponds with the Available jobs numbers, which are also given in terms of game simulation, not population.
The User Interface shows the current number of Citizens. If there is a change in the population an additional number is displayed. A positive number means that people are entering your city. A negative number means that people are leaving your city.
