neutral  writeaway: das klingt schon besser aber ich bin nicht ganz so sicher das es richtig ist

  -> Vielen dank.

agree  vic voskuil: write heeft wel een punt (aantal kan evt op iets anders dan populatie slaan), maar zonder verdere context is dit perfect :)
26 mins
  -> Bedankt Vic. 'Population' betekent in het Engels ook de grootte van de bevolking, dus ik denk niet dat hier echt een probleem ligt.

agree  Dennis Seine
32 mins
  -> Bedankt Dennis.

agree  Tina Vonhof: I would say population trends - that includes how many there are and where, e.g. is there an increase in some areas and a decrease in others. B.t.w, your links don't work.
44 mins
  -> Thanks, Tina. Yes, I know there is a problem with the links. They work, but the sites don't allow free access. I think the google info is fairly significant, though.

agree  Saskia Steur: with Tina, population trends sounds appropriate
1 hr
  -> Yes, I think 'trends' would be an option too.
