The birthrates of the City or the number of live births per 1000 population has been fluctuating in the past five years. On the overall, the rate of natural increase has been increasing during the last five years. The annual increase has been at an almost regular rate except when it was stunted in 1999 due to the significant drop in the number of births. Table 3.3 Birth, Death and Net Migration, 1996-2000 Year Birth Number Rate Death Number Rate Net Migration Migration Rate 1996 4,823 21.7 696 3.1 16,285 73.4 1997 5,997 24.5 711 2.9 17,194 70.4 1998 7,409 27.5 825 3.1 18,175 67.6 1999 6,547 22.1 886 3.0 21,607 72.9 2000 8,078 25.6 1,042 3.3 12,458 39.4 Source: City Registrar's Office, Urbis' Computation The incoming of migrants is illustrated by the high migration rates in the last five years. The highest rate was observed in 1996 where about 73 of every 1,000 population were migrants. This rate decreased to 39 in 2000. Considering that the City has received an influx of migrants of about 12,458 to 21,607 annually from 1996 to 2001, it can be deduced that San Jose del Monte holds some influential factors that keep the migrants flowing in. These reasons may be the numerous residential subdivision developments within the City; adequate social service facilities; proximity to Metro Manila; and ample physical and social infrastructure.
