The high population growth of the Madiun Regency can cause population density that can have implications for other problems, both in terms of social, economic, welfare, security, land availability, availability of clean water, and food needs. This study aims to predict the population growth of Madiun Regency using the ARIMA method. The ARIMA (Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average) method is popular for forecasting time series data, which is reliable because the calculation process is done gradually.
