Migration in São Luís (2017–2022)
Intermediate region with 73 municipalities and a reference population of 2,921,830 people. In the 2017–2022 five-year period, the unit received 58,820 in-migrants and lost 102,420 out-migrants coming from or going to places outside its borders, a net migration of −43,600 (−14.92 per 1,000 population).
Migration between municipalities of the same intermediate 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.
