The first chart below shows the three population change factors for three periods adjusted for annual average amounts. Natural change (B-D) was the primary factor in adding population in the first and latest two periods, and NDM held that position in the second period.
The second chart shows the same data but with an adjustment to reflect births to immigrants shifted to NIM. In it, NDM replaced NIM as the largest source of added population in the latest period in addition to the second period.
