Geo unit 4 quiz Flashcards
what are the population formulas
Birth Rate= Birth/ Total population x 1000
Death rate= Death/Total populationx1000
Emigration rate = (Emigrants/Total pop) x 1000
Immigration rate = (Immigrants/Total pop) x 1000
Natural Rate of Increase = [(Births – Deaths)/Total pop] x 1000 OR
Birth Rate – Death Rate
Net Migration Rate = [(Immigrants – Emigrants)/Total pop] x 1000 OR
Immigration Rate – Emigration Rate
Population Growth Rate = Natural Rate of Increase + Net Migration Rate / 1000 x
100 (%)
