The dynamics of Oshawa's human population with a density-dependent growth rate, projected from 2026 to 2126. Births and in-migration outpace deaths and out-migration while the population is below carrying capacity; the two balance out at carrying capacity; and deaths and out-migration would outpace births if the population overshot it. A five-year delay means crowding slows growth only after a lag, since housing takes years to build, and people move based on conditions they saw in the past.
