Average domestic net migration rate 2011-2015

Home Maps Average domestic net migration rate 2011-2015

The map shows that patterns of domestic migration are directed towards the bigger city regions. Exceptions to this that are worth noting however include the municipalities of Stockholm, Oslo or Copenhagen, none of which experienced net in-migration during 2011-2015. The domestic migration patterns are also different from those observed with respect to international migration. International migration is distributed more evenly across the Nordic Region whereas domestic migration is concentrated in particular regions.

Map Facts

This map shows the domestic net migration rate in Nordic municipalities and regions in 2015. Domestic migration refers to migration between municipalities and regions within a country (international migration is not included) and net migration rate refers to this migration as a share (%) of the total population.

The blue areas on the map show municipalities/regions with international net immigration (i.e. more people arriving than departing), the red areas show municipalities/regions with net emigration (i.e. more people departing than arriving) and the yellow areas show municipalities/regions with balanced international net migration rates (i.e. comparable numbers of people arriving and departing).
