migration trends
Population relocation data
Migration trends are the patterns and directions of population movement over time—where people are moving from and to, and in what numbers.
Demographers, economists, and policymakers track migration trends to understand shifts in labor markets, housing demand, and regional growth: Migration trends show young professionals leaving rural areas for cities.
The phrase appears in discussions of both human movement and, less commonly, animal migration patterns.
