MIGRATION
This assignment assesses your skills in calculating and interpreting data used to describe
migration rates and migration flows.
Calculate:
What is the population change/growth, natural increase, and net migration for
each of the four populations.
Fill in the table below.
Hint:
estimate using the “Demographic
Balancing Equation.”
Hint:
In the table, you can express answers absolute numbers.

Calculate:
Using data from the above table/calculations,
what is the net-migration rate for
Oakwood during this ten-year period (2000-2010)?
Hint: assume that all migration and natural
increase was evenly spaced during the ten-year interval between 2000 and 2010.
This assumption
should help you figure out an estimate of the mid-year population for Oakwood.
____________________ (per 1000)
Discuss:
Using the above data/calculations, can you estimate the gross migration rate of
these four populations?
Why or Why not?
Interpret:
Below are the population pyramids for two different counties in Texas.
Briefly
discuss what you can deduce about these two counties.
For example, what types of age-
specific migration flows may be occurring in each population to create these rather unsual
population pyramid shapes?
Calculate:
Using the data given below, fill in the tables.
