The first chart below shows the three population change factors for three periods adjusted for annual average amounts. Domestic migration (NDM) was consistently negative and B-D accounted for a majority of the population increase for the first two periods while NIM was the largest factor in the most recent period.
The second chart shows the same data but with an adjustment to reflect births to immigrants shifted to NIM. In it, the relative position of the three factors remained unchanged.
