The carrying capacity is around 0.4 million.

Explanation: the population rises then levels off at ~0.4 million, which indicates it reached its carrying capacity. It is not exponential (it plateaus), limiting factors are more evident after the initial increase, and birth = death only during the flat period (not for a majority of the whole 20 years).
