It's impossible for us to know how much of Mantle's population is currently in Atlas. Maybe 1/3, or half or maybe even the majority.

It's just, at what point it becomes acceptable to leave those remaining in Mantle behind? For example, is it fair to not to safe 2/3 of Kingdom's population (evacuees from Mantle + people of Atlas) only because you didn't want to leave 1/3 behind? That is a really good point. How many people have been successfully evacuated?

Blake said that they're nowhere near done evacuating the people of Mantle. This could imply that most of Mantle's population is still in Mantle or that there still a bit more of people.

That would certainly be a stong point for either side depending on the answer, but I feel like we won't get to know that.
