Fig. 6: Net migration and its impact on population change in socioclimatic bins.
From: World’s human migration patterns in 2000–2019 unveiled by high-resolution data

a–d, For each socioclimatic bin, urban net migration per 1,000 urban population summed over the study period (a), the impact of urban net migration on urban population change in each socioclimatic bin (b), rural net migration per 1,000 rural population summed over the study period (c) and the impact of rural net migration on rural population change (d). Here, net migration per urban or rural population was calculated as a zonal sum of net migration in urban (a) and rural (c) areas in each bin and then divided with the respective urban or rural population count in the respective bin. The maps are spatial representations of the heatmaps. Socioclimatic bins are based on socioeconomic and climatic conditions represented by human development and aridity indices (Methods; Extended Data Figs. 7 and 8).
