Hello!

The big problem with this report is the overview (second sentence - Overall ...). This fails to note the key trends and only mentions an irrelevant fact.

The main paragraphs need a little more detail. Words that are used incorrectly include (suggestions in brackets) inhabitants (workers), quantity (level), and number (percentage/proportion).

There are also numerous errors, some of them basic.

So, overall, not so great, but with a better overview and improved vocab/grammar, this could be a very good response.

All the best,
David
