Answer:

  23.9% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage change is calculated from ...

  pct change = ((new value)/(old value) -1) × 100%

  = (2653/3487 -1) × 100% = -0.2392 × 100%

  pct change = -23.9% . . . . rounded to tenths

The population decreased by 23.9% in the given time period.
