    A round, worked through

    Say the mystery county is Fulton County, the state's largest, with 1,079,105 people. You open with Camden County, 58,118 people. The tiles read: People: Vastly more; Growth: Slower; Distance: 258 mi, arrow northwest.

    So the mystery is 258 miles northwest and has more people. You pick Baldwin County, closer that way: People: Vastly more; Growth: Faster; Distance: 86 mi, arrow northwest. Now the mystery is 86 miles northwest and has more people. Only a few counties fit both clues.
