Net in-migration is expected to be the major cause of population growth in the United States in the coming decades. The natural increase rate (birth rate minus death rate) has been decreasing, and the crude birth rate has also been declining. The declining death rate has contributed to the increase in population in the past, but its impact is not as significant as net in-migration. Urban expansion may contribute to population growth in some areas, but it is not expected to be the main cause of growth at the national level.
