Alexandria MSA: Population 1970-2010
The first chart below shows the three population change factors for three periods adjusted for annual average amounts. Natural change (B-D) was the largest factor in population growth in all periods (although in the first period the overall population declined).
The second chart shows the same data but with an adjustment to reflect births to immigrants shifted to NIM. In it, B-D remained the principal factor in population increase.
