Methodological note

The statistics Migratory Movements provides information on people's movement due to a change in residence from one municipality in Catalonia to another, whether in Catalonia, the rest of Spain or abroad. Idescat bases this operation on the additions and removals due to changes in residence registered in municipal registers, with variation dates from the reference year.

From the year 2022 the source is the Statistics on Migrations and Changes of Residence by INE, while from 1998 to 2021 the source was the Statistics on Residential Variations by INE. Migration balances and flows within Catalonia and with the rest of Spain are comparable with the previous series, but the flows of external migration are higher with the new source.

The main characteristics analysed are sex, age and nationality.

Migratory movement refers to the displacement of an individual due to a change in residence, as well as the characteristics of this migration. The information contained comprises only inter-municipal changes and, as such, changes in residence within the same municipality are excluded.
