Population geography: study of the ways in which spatial variations in the distribution, composition, migration, and growth of populations are related to the nature of places; involves demography in a geographical perspective; spatial analysis in relation to environment variation. Demography: statistical study of population, focuses on the characteristics of population distributions that change in a spatial context. Migration: permanently changing residence from one geographic location to another. Basic demographic equation: fp = sp + b d +i o: fp = final population, sp = starting population, b= births during period, i = in-migration during period, o= out-migration during period. Rate: frequency of occurrence e. g. divorce rate. Cohort: data related to population group e. g. 5 year olds. Crude birth rate (cbr: 40,000/2,000,000 = 20 per 1000, 40 is high (afghanistan), niger (51. 6, 8. 8 is low (singapore), canada (10. 3) Total fertility rate (tfr): number of births per women: 15-44 years old, 2. 1 needed for replacement.
