Took me a minute to fully parse, I’ll try to explain
Each edge of the triangle is 0-100% of each mode, thus the center is 33% of each mode because of the skew in the ‘grid’.
Then the thickness/color represents the population, the data just happens to work that there’s a strong correlation between population and change in modal percent, making the constant gradients.
The graphs on the left convey essencially the same information. It would be a lot more interesting to see where individual nations/cities sit within the ternary graph

This makes sense in principle but none the less I still feel my self struggling to quickly see the difference between to points on these plots.
