| Demographic Equation | births-deaths+net migration |
| Demographic Momentum | The tendency for growing population to continue growing after a fertility decline because of young age distribution |
| Demographic Transition Model | Stage 1: Low Growth Stage 2: High Growth Stage 3: Moderate Growth Stage 4: Low Growth Stage 5: Zero/Negative Growth (not officially a stage) |

| Sustainability | Providing the best outcomes for human and natural environments both in the present and the future |
| Underpopulation | refers to the sharp decrease in a region's population |
| Zero Population Growth | Crude birth rate = crude death rate, thus natural increase is zero |
| Chain Migration | When one family member/group migrates to a country and other groups follow shortly after |
| Cyclic Movement | Trends in migration that have a clear cycle |
| Forced Migration | When people are removed from their counties and forced to live elsewhere because of war, natural disaster, government instability |
| Gravity Model | Predicts that the optimal location of a service is directly related to the number of people in the area and inversely related to the distance people must travel to access it |
| Internal Migration | Permanent movement within a country |
| Intervening Opportunity | Environmental or cultural feature that helps migration |
| Intercontinental Migration | Permanent movement from one county to a different country within the same continent. |
| Interregional Migration | Permanent movement from one region of a country to another region |
