Births and deaths are nearly equal in a city, yet its population is growing rapidly. What is the most likely reason?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: High positive net migration

Population change equals natural increase plus net migration. When births and deaths are nearly equal, the natural increase is close to zero. If the city is nevertheless growing rapidly, another component must be adding many people. The most likely component is positive net migration, meaning more people move into the city than leave it.

Thus option A is correct. High out-migration would reduce population, while zero migration would leave only the small natural change. Increasing land area changes the denominator used for density but does not itself add residents. The question asks about population growth, so the relevant explanation is a large excess of in-migrants over out-migrants, including possible movement for jobs, education, or services.
