To determine the annual percentage increase in the population, we note that multiplying the current population by 1.036 indicates a growth factor of 1.036.
The percentage increase can be calculated as follows:
1. Subtract 1 from the growth factor:
\[
1.036 - 1 = 0.036
\]
2. Convert this decimal into a percentage by multiplying by 100:
\[
0.036 \times 100 = 3.6\%
\]
Therefore, the population increases by **3.6%** per year.
