The Statistics on Migrations and Changes of Residence offers a statistical estimate of migration flows in Spain, by each autonomous community, province, and municipality in relation to foreign countries, as well as internal migrations within Spain.
Results are broken down by gender, age, nationality, and country of birth, as well as by migration origin and destination, maintaining full consistency with population Censuses.
The data obtained are transmitted nationally and internationally as the official records of Spain’s migration flows for all purposes.
