Atlas of internal migration in Brazil 2022 Census · 2017–2022

Migration in São Luís (2017–2022)

Immediate region with 13 municipalities and a reference population of 1,536,870 people. In the 2017–2022 five-year period, the unit received 55,940 in-migrants and lost 60,835 out-migrants coming from or going to places outside its borders, a net migration of −4,895 (−3.19 per 1,000 population).

Migration between municipalities of the same immediate region is not counted here; only the flows that cross the unit's border are. The indicators on this page are direct sums of the published municipal flows (excluding the pairs suppressed by disclosure control), not a new sample estimate: that is why there is no standard error or confidence interval at this aggregation level.
