The Nordic region had an annual average net migration rate of 0.7% during the period 2008-2014. The map at the regional level indicates that all regions in Denmark, Norway and Sweden have net in-migration. The Faroe Islands, Greenland and Iceland highlights however have net out-migration. Most regions in the South-Western part of Finland have net in-migration, whereas the regions in the remaining parts of Finland suffer from net out-migration. At the municipal level, the municipalities with the largest settlements attract most of the migrants, whereas the most rural and sparsely populated parts of the Nordic region suffer from population decline. This observation applies in particular to municipalities in Denmark, Finland, Iceland and Sweden. In Norway, net in-migration not only occurs in the most urban municipalities but also in the majority of its rural municipalities. In the Faroe Islands and Greenland, where there is overall (national/regional) net out-migration, the municipal scale showcases their internal differences. The municipality containing Greenland’s largest settlement (Nuuk) shows a net in-migration flow.
