Notes
- It is unknown if the citation is referring to the Port of the same name, or to the District exactly, with the attached map suggesting the latter, hence its citing, in addition, logic would dictate that the numbers correlate, with the graphs in the citation providing an uphill climb that matches the previous statement, and it would be paradoxical for a District to have a smaller population than one of its cities, as the former claim would suggest.
