## Step1: Identify the Percent Changes### The table provides the percent changes in population for six metropolitan areas from 2001 through 2013. These changes are as follows:- City1: 45.6%- City2: 9.0%- City3: 5.9%- City4: -2.9%- City5: 41.1%- City6: -4.2%## Step2: Determine the Overall Change### To determine the overall change, we need to consider each city's percent change individually. Since the question does not specify whether to calculate an average or a total sum, we will assume it is asking for the general trend (increase or decrease) based on the given data.## Step3: Analyze Each City's Change### We observe that four cities (City1, City2, City3, and City5) have positive percent changes, indicating an increase in population. Two cities (City4 and City6) have negative percent changes, indicating a decrease in population.## Step4: Conclude the Overall Trend### Since the majority of the cities (four out of six) experienced an increase in population, we can conclude that the overall trend is an increase in population.
