Question

look at the graph.
us population distribution
1790 - 1920
based on the graph, in what year was the urban population of the united states roughly equal to the rural population?
around 1885
around 1915
around 1795
around 1825

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the graph

The graph shows the percentage of US population (urban and rural) from 1790 - 1920. The intersection of the urban (blue) and rural (red) lines represents when their populations are roughly equal.

Step2: Identify the year of intersection

Looking at the x - axis (years) and the intersection point of the two lines, we can see that the intersection occurs around 1915 (since the x - axis labels are 1790, 1800, 1810, 1820, 1830, 1840, 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1890, 1900, 1910, 1920 and the intersection is near 1910 - 1920, with 1915 being the closest option).

Answer:

around 1915
