Abstract: This research explores the spatial focusing of the migration network within England and Wales at local authority level. The Gini Index is used to quantify the inequality of migration flows between local authorities at a national level, with the decomposed index then used to analyse the spatial focusing of origins and destinations within the network. It then analyses individual local authorities calculate the inequality of incoming and outgoing migration flows, to evaluates the geographical patterns of spatial focusing. The conclusion is that England and Wales have a spatially focused migration network.
