POPULATION CHANGES 1947 part of building repair is not shown in official statistics, housing supply could not keep pace with increase of population. On the contrary, immigra- tion caused further deterioration in general housing conditions, but this fact did not check the influx of population. In some cases, for instance in Munich, the population of the adjoining Landkreise increased by the same or a higher rate than the population of the city, whereas in all other Land- kreise, more remote from the urban center, the rate of increase was compara- tively low, as indicated in the following table.
