Birthrate > Death Rate
From a sample of a population, the properties of the population can be inferred.
Increase: Survival and Immigration Decrease: Death and Emigration
the gold rush caused a rapid increase in the population after 1851.

increase in population size
An increase in the availability of food, a decrease in predation pressure, or an improvement in reproductive success are factors that can lead to an increase in the size of an animal population.
Population change refers to any increase or decrease in the size of a population, whereas population growth specifically refers to the overall increase in the population size over a given period, often expressed as a percentage. Population change can be influenced by factors such as births, deaths, immigration, and emigration, while population growth focuses on the net increase in population size resulting from these factors.
Let's put it this way. Say you have a killerwhale and a penguin. Killerwhales are major predators to penguins. Now, say the killerwhale population increases. The penguins would be eaten more by the killerwhales, then causing a population decrease for the penguins. If the population decreases, they're won't be enough penguins, and they most likely will become extinct, as well as causing a population decrease for the killerwhales as well. Whereas, vis versa, they're were a killerwhale population decrease. The penguins would be less hunted, therefore, creating a population increase for the penguins.
The higher population size would also decrease. If the first level population decreased, the higher levels would have less to eat. This would cause the weaker organisms in the higher population group to die.
