- Abstract
The study aims to assess the spatial concentration of migration flows in municipalities of the Urals Federal District for 2015 and 2023. For this purpose, we adapted the HHI (Herfindahl-Hirschman Index), which flows to assess the migration flows. The study is based on net migration data for 198 municipalities, and is aimed at indentification of shifts in the spatial distribution of the population. The results indicate increasing spatial differentiation of migration flows: several agglomerations and resource-extracting centers demonstrate hyperconcentration of inflows, while peripheral territories continue to experience outflows. Of particular significance is the trend toward suburbanization, manifested in the growing attractiveness of suburban areas for migration. The hypothesis regarding the concentration effect is confirmed: despite stimulating local economic growth, it exacerbates territorial disparities. The results have practical implications for improving spatial planning tools
