Summary/Abstract: Migration is a vital process influencing the demographic situation by affecting not only the size of the population but also its structure. The aim of the article is to show the size of migration in urban and rural areas of the Wielkopolskie voivodeship. The analysis used a descriptive and comparative method, as well as selected migration indicators. The time range covered the 1995–2018 period and data for all years selected, i.e. 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2014 and 2018 were analysed. The research made it possible to identify cities – and above all rural areas – in the vicinity of Poznan that are attractive for migration. The inflow and outflow of people in towns and villages in the discussed years showed a reversed tendency, which started before 2000. The process of outflow of population has intensified to such an extent that in 2018 over 70% of urban municipalities were classified as unattractive areas for migration.
