A map of the Western Hemisphere is titled Average Annual Rate of Change of the Total Population, year 2015 to year 2020. A Key with seven patterned squares refers to areas on the map, indicating varying migration activity, ranging from highest to lowest. The countries on the map are unlabeled. The first patterned area on the Key is labeled 1.50 percent to 2.09 percent, and is shown on the map in Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, and French Guiana. The second patterned square is labeled 1.30 percent to 1.49 percent and is shown on the map in Ecuador and Bolivia. The next area is labeled 1.00 percent to 1.29 percent, and shown on the map in Mexico, Nicaragua, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Peru, and Paraguay. The fourth pattern is labeled 0.80 percent to 0.99 percent, and is shown in Canada and the Canadian Arctic, Costa Rica, Colombia, Guyana, Suriname, and Argentina. The next area is labeled 0.40 percent to 0.79 percent and is shown in Alaska, mainland United States, Brazil, and Chile. The sixth pattern is labeled negative 0.01 percent to negative 0.39 percent and is shown in Greenland, Cuba, Jamaica, the Bahamas, and Uruguay. The last area is labeled negative 0.50 percent to negative 0.00 percent and is shown on the map in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean Islands. A scale shows 2,000 miles and 2,000 kilometers.
