Almost half of all migrations in the country are towards the Skopje region – where, according to data from the 2021 Census, 48 percent of all immigrants from another municipality in the country and 45 percent of all immigrants from another country live. In Skopje, every fifth immigrant from the interior of the country is in the Municipality of Aerodrom, while almost 70 percent are in one of the four municipalities – Aerodrom, Gazi Baba, Karposh or Kisela Voda.
Internal migrations, except in the capital, are generally directed to the larger cities in a given region, so 6.1 percent live in Bitola, Shtip – 3.5 percent, Ohrid – 3.3 percent, Kumanovo – 3.1 percent, Strumica – 2.9 percent, Tetovo – 2.8 percent and Veles and Prilep – 2.6 percent each.
This shows the last set of data from Census 2021 published by the State Statistics Office, which refer to the marital status of the population, the number of live births and migrations within the country.
