By which year in the table had the population of Aberystwyth doubled since 1981?

If the population of Esquel increases by 10% between 2011 and 2015 what will be the total population in Esquel by then?

What was the population of your town or village in 2011? Is this more or less than the population of Aberystwyth or Esquel? Has the population of your town or village increased or decreased since 1981?
