Cape Girardeau MSA: Population 1960-2010
The first chart below shows the three population change factors for three periods adjusted for annual average amounts. Domestic migration (NDM) was the primary factor in population increase in the earliest period, and B-D was in the two most recent periods.
The second chart shows the same data but with an adjustment to reflect births to immigrants shifted to NIM. In it, the relative role of the three factors in population increase remained unchanged.
